- Guidelines fof Maintenance Contracts\n
- New technologies and sustainability\n
- Maintenance Concepts, etc.}
{Arab News (14 May 2013) published an article about unemployment which has reached in Saudi Arabia

{Content of the meeting}
\p
{The focus of the meeting was to install a system for quality control.\n
The key for quality lies in the manner how questions and answers are formulated.\n
The aim is to assess knowledge and practical skills allowing to get a competence picture.\n
The chapters are related to the VocTrainMaint classification. Also, the VocTrainMaint learning outcomes will be used.\n
Special care will be given to terminology, e.g. EN 13306:2010 and prEN 15628:2012.}
