GTDEE’S PARTNER COMPANIES AND EDUCATION INSTITUTE IN 2021

GTDEE service portfolio

German-Thai Dual Excellence Education (GTDEE) is a training programme of the German-Thai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK Thailand) in which trainees work with a practical focus in companies and also attend technical college. The college addresses practical topics relating to the profession and also teaches general education subjects such as communication techniques, English for professional, mathematic and social study.

From the start, the aim was to implement a sustainable training structure in line with the German Model. Learning content from the German general training plan and the framework curriculum has been adapted within the context of the Thai Vocational Education and Training (VET) structure. The AHK Thailand identified Thai training content which was equivalent to the German training framework. This has resulted in three-years VET courses which follow the German training regulation and include its qualifications.

Activities planned for 2022

These activities are related to the progress of the sustainability of dual vocational education development in Thailand. Since education is a continuous development process, GTDEE will continue to work on refining dual vocational education and training standards in Thailand, with the goal of sustainability in order to support vocational education in Thailand towards becoming the hub in ASEAN as follows:
