Making Code of Conduct aware to all Officer Trainees

A possible Code of Honor for Officer Trainees attending Foundation Course can be:

1. Devotion to duty / learning requisite competencies

2. Dealing with colleagues, faculty and staff in a courteous manner

3. Sportsman spirit

A good training program should create an environment where practice of ethical values is encouraged.
