What مركز تنمية قدرات اعضاء هية التدريس والقيادات does

Faculty and Leadership Development Center (FLDC), مركز تنمية قدرات أعضاء هيئة التدريس والقيادات, is an organizational unit of Cairo University established by University Council Decision No. 439 dated 23 March 2006 and headquartered on University Street, Giza, Egypt. The center delivers professional development training to Cairo University faculty, assistant faculty, teaching assistants, and graduate students, covering academic training, employee training, a seven-day intensive Professional Trainer Course (CIPT) internationally accredited through a partnership with Missouri State University (signed January 2015), and accreditation services for external training programs. Its course catalog spans change management, examination systems, critical thinking, blended learning, scientific research writing and international publication, digital transformation, and AI applications in education; six courses are mandatory for promotion to higher academic ranks, embedding FLDC into the faculty career pipeline.

FLDC operates from a single campus facility that includes a 20-device computer lab, meeting rooms with presentation technology, and a restaurant. Distribution is hybrid: in-person delivery at the center plus online registration and course access through nfldc.cu.edu.eg. Pricing is structured in tiers: EGP 200–250 for Cairo University staff and faculty on subsidized courses (with one free course every four months), EGP 1,000 for intensive Cairo University courses, EGP 1,200 for delegates and external university participants, USD 100 for non-Egyptian participants, EGP 150 for certificate replacement, and EGP 500–750 for external accreditation evaluation.

The business model is institutional rather than commercial. The center is owned by Cairo University, a public Egyptian state entity, with no venture, private equity, or independent ownership. By decision of the Supreme Council of Universities dated 28 June 2014, FLDC serves as the central accreditation unit for training centers, trainers, and training materials across all Egyptian universities, conferring a national regulatory mandate that distinguishes it from purely commercial training providers. It is led by Executive Director Dr. Amr Mostafa and operates with approximately ten staff.
