The project was funded by the German ministry of foreign affairs and realized in the German Egyptian Welding Center (GEWC), branch of GSI. 15 teachers were successfully trained in El Obour – near Cairo – by the GEWC and they became “DVS Welding Instructors”. The final preparation for the exams and the examination itself took part in GSI SLV Bildungszentren Rhein-Ruhr in Germany.
