AASTMT has received the Global Foundation Certificate to provide much sought aIer competence to provide training for both academy students and other candidates in maintenance & work practices according to the OPITO Industry Standards and Global Qualifications. The tremendous team effort by the College of Engineering & Technology staff is now rewarded and AASTMT is now well appointed to lead the way for training skilled workforce for the current and new industries emerging in Egypt.
OPITO Global Qualifications potfVolio consists of training certificates and vocational qualifications to develop skills and competencies within operations and maintenance activities, across the energy sectors. The industry-led approach provides a flexible framework with specifically designed, recognised qualifica5ons, that can be benchmarked against existing national and regional frameworks.
When first evaluated for approval, the College of Engineering & Technology was identified as well equipped with its facilities and equipment matching the requirement by OPITO. The college staff has been hard at work to develop the necessary curriculum and closing any gaps to meet the requirements for delivering OPITO technical programs, starting with training certificate courses for Basic Maintenance Practices and Introduction to Maintenance Workshop Practice.
The College of Engineering & Technology mission is to prepare young generations for the requirements of the knowledge based societies. The college has market-driven academic programs and strong collaboration with industry and maintains and develops long term and lasting partnerships with Arab institutions, and interna5onally acknowledged bodies.
