Wednesday, January 22, 2020

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kuwait Society of Engineers Faisal Al-Atel informed that the society rejected about 11,000 unaccredited certificates since the start of the application of professional tests for expatriate engineers in March 2018.

“The vast majority of the holders of these certificates are Asian nationals,” local media Arab Times reported quoting Chairman.

According to daily, Al-Atel in a statement, said that “There are several reasons for refusing the accreditation of these certificates, including the holders’ failure in obtaining the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in engineering, the failure of their universities to be part of the accreditation lists even with their countries, as well as the presence of several certificates that do not deserve the title “engineer”. Some of them did not pass the professional aptitude test”.
