Certificate of Training

Issued by the Social Welfare Training Council, this certificate records that Hugh Jones successfully completed The Course for Chief Prison Officers in 1967 and passed the examinations required for appointment as a Chief Prison Officer.

The document reflects professional training and accreditation requirements within the Victorian prison system during this period.

The reverse of the certificate sets out training and examination requirements for prison officers, as prescribed by Public Service Board Regulations. It lists compulsory subjects required for appointment and promotion, including English, prison rules and procedures, penology (Parts I–III), firearms training, first aid, institutional bookkeeping, and institutional management. The document outlines the examination standards required for appointment as Prison Officer, Senior Prison Officer, and Chief Prison Officer.

Held in Phillip Jones Collection.
