Officials of Qatar Chamber and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education recently convened a co-ordination meeting to discuss ways to enhance efforts and co-operation to regulate the training process and the accreditation mechanism for training centres.

The meeting was attended by Alanoud al-Mohannadi, director of the chamber’s Member Affairs Department, and Iman al-Nuaimi, director of the Educational Services Centres Department at the ministry.

The meeting discussed the legalisation of the process for certifying training certificates, particularly for unlicensed consulting and training centres by the ministry. They also reviewed the aspects of co-operation, information exchange, and the integration of efforts between the two departments.

Both parties agreed that the ministry would provide the chamber with the approved activities of educational services centres and approved centres. This will allow the chamber to certify certificates when reviewing educational licences.

Furthermore, it was agreed that the ministry would provide the chamber with a list of training centres whose licences have been cancelled by the Educational Services Centres Department. This will enable the chamber to reject the certification of training certificates issued by such institutions.
