Successfull Exams

The much-awaited results of the Government Skills Training Exams are out and our graduates achieved best marks. For our schools in India, light relaxations of the Covid-10 measures were implemented during the last few weeks.

Graduates of our professional skills training courses took the Government Exams just before the lockdown in March 2020. Good news reach us before Christmas: They all passed the exams with best grades. We congratulate the graduates and wish them all the best for their future.

In recent weeks, relaxations of the Covid-19 measures have been announced for our schools in India. For instance, to support the students from grades nine and ten in their final exam preparation, they have been given permission to access their respective campuses, where they also receive help with revisions and remaining questions. Younger students continue to be taught in distance learning. We very much hope to be able to return to normal operations in the near future.
