Report
In my experience, the RACDS is a dysfunctional organisation that lacks leadership and accountability. Despite claiming to provide "world standard" education, some of the RACDS assessment practices are questionable. In my experience, the RACDS CEO, Mr Brendan Peek, refuses to take responsibility for poor RACDS practices and instead attempts to pass the buck inappropriately to other organisations. No leadership. No accountability.
