THE WAY FORWARD In consonant with our goals and aspirations to be the International Anti-Corruption Training Centre in the Asia-Pacific region, a total of 9 courses are offered to the international participants for the year 2009. Advanced courses are offered in the fields of investigation, intelligence, law and prosecution, and prevention.
