Some cards also carry photographs of the student. The format of the cards changed over the years but the basic information remained very similar. Where students discontinued studies, the reasons are noted, for instance: death, transfer to other colleges / universities, resignation etc. Where practical work such as teaching rounds were undertaken the card often notes contact hours, pass or fail, competency of the teacher etc. Courses included: Approved Course of Teacher Training (ACTT); Diploma in Primary Teaching (previously the Trained Primary Teacher's Certificate TPTC); Diploma of Education (Dip.
