The first part, focusing on theoretical knowledge, will take place at the Commodity Testing and Quality Management Centre (Hlegu) in Yangon Region from 19 June to 7 July. The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry will oversee this phase. The second part, which includes both theoretical and practical aspects, will be held at the Industrial Training Centre (Sinde) under the Directorate of Industrial Cooperation, Ministry of Industry, from 10 to 28 July.
