PENANG, Feb 10 (Bernama) — As part of the German Dual Vocational Training (GDVT) initiative, the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MGCC) is collaborating with the IHK Kassel-Marburg, Germany, B. Braun Medical Industries Sdn Bhd (BMI) and the Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC) to offer the German certification of an Industriemeister in Mechatronics starting from January 2022 onwards.
The programme features an on-top training for future technical experts and foremen focusing on advanced technical and organisational aspects combined with knowledge in management according to the German Industriemeister Framework Curriculum and Training Regulations. For approximately 24 months, participants will be training at PSDC and will be certified by MGCC upon completion. As this programme is sponsored by BMI, there are zero tuition fees and the training will be performed alongside the normal working days. Graduates from this programme may also obtain additional certification by IHK Kassel-Marburg by sitting for the Meister exam in Germany without having to repeat the course.
