What licensing looks like for education and training
Physical training institutes and tutoring centres in Dubai need a KHDA permit alongside the standard trade licence, and the permit review looks at the curriculum, instructor qualifications and the premises itself before approval is granted.
E-learning platforms and online course providers generally face a lighter regulatory path than a physical institute, since there is no premises inspection involved, though the underlying business activity still needs to be licensed correctly from the outset.
Every instructor added to a licensed training institute needs their qualifications verified, and we sequence this alongside the KHDA permit application so credentialing does not become the step that delays opening.
