DIMO’s PESHA qualification recognised by IHK Germany & AHK Sri Lanka

DIMO, one of the leading conglomerates in Sri Lanka, has attained another feather in its cap with Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Sri Lanka (AHK Sri Lanka) recognising the Diploma in Plant Engineering for Sanitary Heating and Air Conditioning (PESHA) offered by DIMO Academy for Technical Skills (DATS) as “German Dual Vocational Training Abroad” (Category A qualification).

The IHK Nuremberg is part of the network of 79 chambers of commerce and industry in Germany. AHK Sri Lanka, as the representative body of the German IHK network in Sri Lanka, is responsible for the quality assurance, examination procedure and certification of the PESHA training.

Mr. Ranjith Pandithage, Chairman & Managing Director of DIMO said, “DIMO has always stood for fuelling dreams and aspirations of the youth in the country. Vocational education is one of the main attributes in DIMO’s sustainability agenda. We firmly believe that the country needs to focus on improving the quality of its vocational education in order to accelerate the economic development and as a responsible corporate citizen, DIMO has taken measures to improve the quality of vocational education in the country.”

“AHK Sri Lanka is glad to continue supporting and certifying high quality, practice-oriented, and industry driven vocational training in Sri Lanka together with DIMO”, said Mr. Josef Tschoep, Head of Vocational Training at AHK Sri Lanka.

DATS is the only institute in Sri Lanka that offers this 3-and-a-halfyear course and DIMO’s vast expertise in overseeing global giants in the engineering sphere, is a testament to the fact that DATS is the only institute in the country capable of providing a world class vocational qualification in Modern Building Services such as PESHA.
