The Training of Trainers (TOT) program, organized by the Innovation and Training Sector, has commenced at Ain Shams University. This initiative aligns with the university's implementation of a micro-credit system, in accordance with the state's directives to develop higher education and the curriculum development plan scheduled to be implemented starting in the 2026/2027 academic year.

The program is held under the auspices of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, and Prof. Ghada Farouk, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, and is supervised and implemented by Prof. Nevin Assem, CEO of the Innovation and Training Sector.

The program is part of the launch of complementary tracks that align with European frameworks for micro-certifications. It aims to develop academic staff capable of designing and delivering high-quality training content according to international standards, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of educational programs and achieving practical learning outcomes that meet labor market needs.

Participants in the program include a select group of faculty staff and teaching assistants nominated from the faculties involved in the complementary tracks: Computer and Information Sciences, Business, Law, Mass Communication, Education, and Arts. These nominees successfully passed personal interviews, paving the way for their training as certified trainers within the micro-certification system.

The program will be held from July 14 to 19, 2026, in collaboration with the International Board of Certified Trainers (IBCT). This initiative reflects Ain Shams University's commitment to adopting the latest global educational systems and fostering integration between academic education and labor market demands, thereby contributing to the development of graduates equipped with the skills and competencies necessary for the future.
