How should I use keywords?

Use keywords that are as specific as possible. For example, if you want to search about a page, use the “word page” not “a pages” “and pages” etc…

Refine search results?

If you find that your search has returned too many results you might want to consider refining your search. You can refine your search by adding other keywords to your search or by using the handy keyword tool that can filter your results to make them more accurately reflect the information you are looking for. The filters can be found to the top of your results.

In 2015, the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR), launched "Maaref" electronic Portal and made it available for customers through the smart application (FAHR). The portal allows training providers to display the training courses they offer, together with prices of those courses, and the percentages of discounts provided exclusively to Federal Government employees. It also provides an opportunity for ministries and federal entities to select the courses that suit the needs of their employees, know where they are held, and evaluate those courses by linking them to Training & Development System for the Federal Government employees.
