AOU/PL001	INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CRICKET UMPIRING & SCORING (IICUS) The International Institute of Cricket Umpiring & Scoring (IICUS) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the International Community Cricket Trust, UK-registered charity No.1119716. IICUS is the only independent institute in the world able to offer education and development courses leading to the award of the following Edexcel*-accredited, internationally-recognised, qualifications - BTEC Level 2 Certificate in Cricket Umpiring; BTEC Level 3 Professional Award for Delivering Vocational Cricket Umpiring and Scoring Qualifications (this qualifies and empowers local indigenous umpires to subsequently deliver the Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Certificate courses themselves in their own country); Advanced Diploma in Cricket Umpiring. (* Edexcel Limited is part of the Pearson Group and, with offices in over a hundred countries, the largest recognised - and one of the most respected - qualifications awarding body in the world). Such has become the much earlier-than-anticipated increase in demand for its courses throughout Australasia and the Asia Pacific/ASEAN region that, in addition to its UK centres, the Institute has had to set up also an Edexcel-verified Umpire Education Centre at the Sydney Cricket Ground in New South Wales and is now looking to do the same in each of the Asia-Pacific countries in the region. To enable it to support the increasing numbers of courses and qualified tutors required, and to set up the necessary number of mandatory Edexcel-verified education centres required to accommodate them, the Institute is seeking global, blue-chip, stakeholder sponsors/partners. Full details of the reciprocal quid pro quos being offered are available on request. Contact: Barrie Stuart-King, Global Head of Fund Raising & Partnerships.
