3. All students will be required, before acceptance, to hold the General
Certificate of Education or its equivalent as required by the Royal Sanitary
Institute and Sanitary Inspectors' Examination Joint Board.
4. Students must attend an approved course of study at a recognised
College or Institute leading up to the statutory qualification of Sanitary
Inspector. Such courses normally extend over a period of four years, but
students who have already taken courses in Building or Sanitary Science as
specified by the Examination Board may qualify in less than four years.
5. Students will be responsible for the provision of their textbooks
and for the payment of travelling expenses, tuition and examination fees.
Students may be eligible for the Council's scheme of financial assistance for
post-entry training.
6. Students will be required to enter into a written undertaking not to
abandon their studies, to sit for all appropriate examinations as they become
due, and to remain if required in the service of the Council for a period of
at least two years after obtaining their statutory qualification as Sanitary
Inspectors. During such service after qualification the Council will pay a
salary in accordance with the A.P.T. National Scales for Sanitary Inspectors.
7. Student appointments will be probationary for six months, and
subject to satisfactory reports from the Chief Sanitary Inspector and the
Institute where the course of study is taken.
8. Any student who fails to pass the Final Examination at the first
attempt may, subject to a satisfactory report from the Chief Sanitary
Inspector, remain on the Council's staff as a temporary officer for a further
period to enable him to re-sit the qualifying examination.
9. The Council reserves the right to revoke its agreement with any
student who, in their opinion, fails to take full and proper advantage of the
facilities provided.
10. Students will work full-time in the Public Health Department,
and will receive practical training and tuition from the Council's Sanitary
Inspectors under the supervision of the Chief Sanitary Inspector. They will
attend the office during normal office hours, but will be allowed a limited
amount of leave to attend classes and practical demonstrations in connection
with their studies. This normally involves one whole day per week in the
third and fourth years of a full-time course, or between 20 and 24 half-days
spread over two years for a part-time evening course.
Practical training will be in accordance with the curriculum set out by
the Royal Sanitary Institute and Sanitary Inspectors' Joint Board.
11. Students will be paid a salary according to age within the General
Division scale laid down by the N.J.C.
The scheme suggested by the Medical Officer of Health was approved
by the Council; at the end of the year approval had been obtained for the
issue of an advertisement inviting applications for the appointment of one
Student Sanitary Inspector.
