********************************************************
The Civil Aid Service (CAS) held the 82nd Recruits Passing-out Parade at its headquarters today (August 8). The parade was reviewed by the Controller of the Government Flying Service, Captain Wu Wai-hung.
The CAS Recruit Training Certificate Programme has been recognised under the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework as meeting the accreditation standards at Level 3 by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. Graduates will be awarded the Certificate in Auxiliary Forces Basic Training (Civil Defence).
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the CAS new recruits strived their best to participate in the training to broaden their horizons and enrich their knowledge, and the training was successfully completed earlier this month. A total of 24 officers and 135 recruits participated in the Passing-out Parade, after which they will utilise what they have learnt to serve society.
The Reviewing Officer presented awards to the outstanding officer cadets and recruits. The recruits also performed a rescue demonstration to showcase their learning outcomes.
Recruitment of CAS members is open for application throughout the year. Recruitment details and application forms are available at the CAS website (www.cas.gov.hk).
