Village meeting on COC certifications: An invitation

Dear Officers,

On Tuesday 8th June 2021, we would compare the countries/institutions we get our COC licences from.

NB: this is not about A is better than B exercise

This is about understanding the process, obstacles, expenses, challenges, revalidation, myths in different countries and institutions.

An example: A lot of people tell me that they plan to do
Class 3 in Nigeria
Class 2 in Ghana/Poland
Class 1 in the UK

So we would be looking out the possibility and challenges of such move. Before E choke later🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

So we need volunteers that understand the system (from application to certification)

1) Nigeria licences
2) South Africa licences
3) Philippines licences
4) Egypt licences
5) UK licences
6) Polish licences
7) Ireland licences
8) Australia licences
9) Canada licences
10) US licences

If you know a volunteer not in the group, invite them for the meeting and let us know in advance.

I am not sure if we should record it or not. So attend live session ooo.

Dem say, dem say, no go dey ooo. Ehn ehn
