A brief graduation ceremony was held at AES Downsview March 27 for five students of the 13th Surface Inspection Workshop, held between March 9 and March 27, 1987. Distributing the graduation certificates, Jaan Kruus, director, Data Acquisition Branch, Central Services Directorate, said that the course would increase graduates' usefulness to the Regions at a faster rate than could be done with on-the-job-training and without diverting trained, experienced but overworked inspectors to give this training on the Regions. "The Regions very early recognized the value of this training and have incorporated the rather considerable cost as part of their normal budget," added Dr. Kruus. Finally he praised the performance of all the candidates.
