From December 01 to December 04, 2020, the further training course to instruct ten teachers at the College of Machinery and Irrigation (VCMI) on “Installation of sanitary technology equipment” was conducted by Mr Ruben Ziehler, Development Advisor at VCMI of the Programme “Reform of TVET in Vietnam” – GIZ. Ten participants of the training course were teachers who will directly deliver the training for the German standard oriented occupation “Mechanics for Sanitary, Heating and Climate Technology” at the College. 

During this training, the participants practiced with tools and materials to enhance the competence in installing sanitary systems with modern equipment and technology. Besides, participants were also instructed to design the system with their own idea. This sample project will be used in the above-mentioned new occupation.

Mr. Nguyen Van Vung, Vice Dean of the Mechanics Faculty, shared his opinion: “I have improved my practical skills in pipe system installation. We are now able to pass on our hands-on experience to the trainees of the new occupation “Mechanics for Sanitary, Heating and Climate Technology” that will be piloted according to German standards at VCMI together with other partner enterprises in this school year”.

This training course was held within the component “Supporting High-Quality TVET Institutes” as part of the Vietnamese – German “Programme Reform of TVET in Viet Nam”. The programme is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) together with the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
