Jim Johnson is a long-standing ISRM member who was recognised for his work in preparing the ISRM qualifications for acceptance onto the National Qualifcations Framework. As John Swanson pointed out: 'Make no mistake, as far as the Institute's education and training programme is concerned, getting our qualifcations onto the NQF is the most significant landmark in the ISRM's 86-year history.'
John added that Jim had worked tirelessly for more than 2 years with the Awarding Body partner, Active IQ, and in support of the ISRM's education and training team, to make all this happen.
