Hi Daniel,
Does that mean we have to complete Modules C and D by 2010 if we have completed stage 1 and stage 2 in the previous scheme?

Dear Ad,
For your case, it means you would need to embark on the new stages system to continue on the training and you shall complete it before 31/12/2010 for the submission of application. The certificates for both the old and new systems shall be submitted before 31/12/2010.
As from year 2009 onwards, no course warrant will be issued by the national HQ anymore pertaining to the old stages system and the old modular system which means no one will be organizing courses based on the the 2 previous training systems from this year onwards.
