Accredited persons referred to herein are those not employed by AITI, nor is AITI responsible for the work of accredited persons.

The application form for amateur radio practical examiners’ accreditation can be found in Annex A of the information document and can be downloaded from the AITI website or obtained from AITI’s office.
The completed applications form together with relevant documents must be submitted at a date to be announced by AITI.
|
|
The application must include the following:-
- the full name and residential address of the applicant;
- the contact telephone number of the applicant;
- the date of birth of the applicant;
- the relevant educational qualifications of the applicant;
- the relevant work history of the applicant;
- the names, addresses and telephone numbers of at least two referees;
- the kind of certificates in relation to which the application for accreditation is being made;
- a declaration, signed by the applicant, that the information in the application is not false or misleading;
The application should also indicate if the applicant does not wish his or her contact details to be made available on AITI's website, should the application be successful.
Please note that accreditation may only be granted to 'natural persons', that is, individuals as opposed to corporations or other business entities.
|
|
On receipt of an application for accreditation, AITI will, as soon as practicable, evaluate the claims in the application and contact referees nominated by the applicant to confirm those claims. If satisfied that the applicant has provided sufficient evidence to support accreditation, AITI will then grant the accreditation sought.
If the applicant is refused accreditation, he or she will be formally advised in writing. However, AITI is not bound to inform the applicant of the reasons for refusal.
AITI is not bound to accept any one application and shall not be bound to assign reason(s) for not accepting any application for accreditation for practical radio amateur examiners. AITI’s decision is final.
AITI retains the right to cancel any application as it deems necessary and appropriate in the circumstances.
|
|
Following the decision to grant the applicant the kinds of accreditation sought, AITI will issue an instrument of accreditation (i.e. a certificate).
The instrument will specify the kinds of examinations that the accredited person is empowered to conduct. The grant of accreditation is generally perpetual but may be surrendered by the accredited person or withdrawn by AITI.
|
|
In some circumstances, AITI will consider whether the withdrawal of a person's accreditation is appropriate. This may be done where the accredited person:-
- has submitted an application for accreditation which includes false or misleading information; or
- has failed to perform the practical examination in an appropriate manner; or
- has failed to conduct the practical examination a number of times as determined by AITI.
If AITI believes that consideration of withdrawal of accreditation is appropriate, a formal notice of that intention will be forwarded to the accredited person. The accredited person will then be given the opportunity to show cause why his or her accreditation should not be withdrawn. |
|
Where a person has had their accreditation withdrawn, he/she may apply for a review of that decision. A written request should be made to AITI for reconsideration. Any such request should:-
- be made on the Application Form;
- state the reasons for the request;
- be sent within 28 days of receipt of notification of the decision; and
- be addressed to:-
The Chief Executive
Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI)
