other AMS if there is any demand or invitation from the
industry. ATPRS plays a central role in implementation of
MRA, as indicated in below chart.
9. Function of ATPRS
Registration of ATP registered by Tourism Professional Certification
Board (TPCB) of AMS particularly on profiles and qualifications;
Maintain record and information on ATP including those hired by the
industry (employer);
A platform of matchmaking between ATP and Industry (potential
employer);
Registration of ASEAN certified Master Trainers and Master Assessors;
Registration of education/training institutions based on MRA; and
Pool of information on the implementation of MRA with a wide range of
online resources, e-learning modules with distance learning facility and
