The Training & Quality Board (TQB) was founded in March 2021 following a restructure of the Education & Training Division and subsumed the Assessment Board and some responsibilities of the Education & Training Quality Committee (ETQC). The TQB’s purpose is to manage the strategy and operations plan as it relates to training and curricula, and to the overall trainee experience.
