COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions worldwide, including the education sector. For ten PALFINGER welding technicians from Rudong, China the final apprenticeship examinations took place in summer 2020. However the travel restrictions at this time made it impossible for the responsible examination board to travel to China.
SOLUTION
Together with WIFI International, PALFINGER initiated the first digital final apprenticeship exams. The practical part of the exam was held in Rudong and monitored virtually from Salzburg using the PALFINGER Smart Eye. This tool is usually used for service activities, but in this case it was the perfect solution and enabled the exams to be held successfully.
