Over 90 people attended the journeyman's certificate ceremony, which took place at a formal event in Hof in Akureyri on Thursday, 5 October.
Journeyman's certificates were awarded in six trades: sheet metal work, waiting, cooking, carpentry, cabinetmaking, and auto mechanics. It is a pleasure to mention that this is the largest graduation ceremony ever held in the north for these trades.
Jóhann Rúnar Sigurðsson, chairman of FMA, and Heimir Kristinsson, vice-chairman of Byggiðn, presented the journeymen with their certificates, along with individuals from the journeyman's examination committee. Jón Bjarni Jónsson, chairman of Byggiðn, presented Auður Björnsdóttir with an award for the highest grade on the journeyman's examination in cabinetmaking.
