In an unprecedented achievement, the Egyptian Dr. Mahmoud Salah has succeeded in setting global quality standards for trainers—an advancement that represents a qualitative leap in the training industry worldwide. The training standards developed by Dr. Mahmoud Salah have been officially approved by the American Academy of Science and Technology, making them an international reference for trainers across all fields.
How Did the Idea Begin?
The idea originated with Dr. Mahmoud Salah, who had observed a substantial gap in the quality of training delivered by various educational institutions and corporations around the world. Differences in criteria and methodologies were undermining both the effectiveness and the outcomes of training. From this realization, Dr. Salah began to conceive a unified set of standards for trainers—standards that would be globally recognized and would ensure the delivery of high-quality training.
He decided to collaborate with experts from around the globe, especially in the United States, to develop comprehensive standards that would regulate the training industry and lay out clear principles for trainers’ work.
The American Academy of Science and Technology was the main partner in this achievement, reviewing and approving the proposed standards after extensive studies and research. Ultimately, these standards were adopted as an international “ISO” code for trainers, granting certified trainers worldwide recognition and the opportunity to compete in global training markets.
Objectives of the Trainer ISO Standards
The primary objective of these standards is to improve training quality and boost its effectiveness—whether in educational institutions, corporate environments, or individual coaching. The standards cover everything from modern teaching methodologies and trainer performance assessment to designing training programs that best meet trainees’ needs.
The trainer ISO standards specify the core competencies required of a trainer, beginning with the ability to convey information effectively and extending to the use of modern educational technologies. They also include criteria for evaluating trainers and guidelines for the continuous development of their skills.
The Importance of This Achievement for Egypt and the Arab World
Issuing ISO standards for trainers is a major milestone for Egypt and the Arab world. Once again, Dr. Mahmoud Salah has proven that Egypt possesses the scientific expertise capable of influencing the global training industry. With this achievement, Egyptian and Arab trainers can now compete on the world stage, demonstrating their competence through an internationally recognized certificate. These standards have already been implemented and applied by numerous experts, trainers, and leaders in more than nine Arab countries.
This accomplishment is not only a source of pride for Egypt but also the beginning of a new era in the training industry across the Arab region. The new standards will help raise the level of training on all fronts—academic and practical alike—which, in turn, will contribute to improved performance in various fields.
Dr. Mahmoud Salah’s landmark issuance of global quality standards for trainers—and their endorsement by the American Academy of Science and Technology—marks the start of a revolution in the training industry worldwide. These standards will not only elevate trainers’ capabilities but also enhance the outcomes of training in all disciplines.
