David Lee

President Association of Professional Trainers (Singapore) The Association with Growing Significance The Association of Professional Trainers, Singapore (APTS) has grown steadily both in form and in substance since its formation. With Singapore striving to be the Global Education Hub, the relevance and significance of APTS will grow by leaps and bounds in the coming years. The uniqueness of APTS lies in the make up of its members. Today we have an increasing pool of experienced trainers from various industries coming together to share expertise and best practices. The monthly Networking & Training Workshops have been running successfully and receiving excellent feedbacks. The spirit of sharing, collaboration and friendship has not only attracted increasing number of practising trainers but aspiring ones as well. Our next bold step is to play a significant role in contributing towards making Singapore the Global Education Hub. The key significance is to develop our own Singapore brand. APTS is looking into working with government agencies such as the Ministry Of Manpower and Ministry Of Education to develop Singapore’s own Accreditation Programme for Professional Trainers. The Hub identity will be significantly strengthened when Singapore carries authority in subject matters. With the excitements ahead, I would like to acknowledge that it is the members who have brought the APTS thus far. My sincere appreciation goes especially to the Executive Committee whose selfless and professional contributions have been evident. Let’s continue to grow as an individual, as an association and as a nation. Yours sincerely   David Lee APTS President 2008/2010
