No starts in this format this month. Try the next month, or ask us about a private cohort.
Few seats left. Dates and fees are fixed when you enrol.
Formats
Format 01
Six training rooms, a practice lab for the cloud and security tracks, parking under the building and coffee that is actually good. Learners bring their own laptop or borrow one of ours for the term.
Format 02
Taught live on a fixed timetable, never pre-recorded. Cameras on, breakout rooms, and the same mock exams as the classroom. Each session is also saved for you to rewatch for 90 days.
Teams
We run any course as a private cohort for your company, at our rooms or yours, on dates that suit your quarter. Before we start we sit with your managers to agree what the team should be able to do afterwards, and we report attendance and mock results back to HR.
A skills check before the course, so the level is right.
Your own case material, under a confidentiality agreement.
A short report at the end: attendance, mock scores, next steps.
5 to 9 learners: 10 percent off. 10 or more: 15 percent off.
12 or more learners can be a private cohort at your premises.
Indicative fee before VAT. Your proposal confirms it.
Ask for a team proposalExams
International certifications are set and marked by independent awarding bodies, not by training centres. Here is the usual path, in general terms. Each body has its own rules, and we walk you through yours.
Some exams ask for work experience or a set number of training hours first. We check your eligibility in the first week.
Classes, labs and weekly quizzes, then at least two full mock exams under timed conditions.
You create an account with the awarding body, pay its exam fee and book a date, either at an approved test centre or online with a remote proctor.
Usually computer based and timed. Bring the ID the body asks for. Some results appear on screen, others arrive by email within a few weeks.
Many certifications need renewal every few years through continuing education. Our short refreshers count toward that where the body allows it.
Instructors
Every instructor teaches part time and practises the rest. They hold the certifications they teach and they keep them current.
Project management and leadership
Twelve years running delivery programmes for banks and utilities in the Gulf. Teaches the Saturday project management cohorts.
How she teaches
Two full four-hour mock exams before the real one. The content is rarely what catches people out; answering questions for four hours straight is, so her cohorts practise exactly that.
Cloud
A solutions architect who has moved several Bahraini firms off ageing servers. Runs the build labs.
Accounting and finance
Chartered accountant, former audit manager, now a group financial controller in Manama. Teaches IFRS and the accountancy papers.
Cybersecurity
Security operations lead with a background in incident response. Wrote the practice lab scenarios.
Fees
Licence and approvals
A live site lists the institute's training licence and any approvals here, with links to the documents.
Training support schemes
On a live site, any government or employer support that a learner may be eligible for is explained here.
Questions
Eight things people ask in the first call. Anything else, ask us directly.
Most international project management exams ask for project experience as well as training hours. Send us a short summary of your roles and we will tell you honestly whether to start now or later.
No. You pay the exam fee to the awarding body when you book. We give you the current figure and help you register.
Classroom sessions are recorded too. Watch it within the week and bring questions to the next class or to office hours on Thursday evening.
Yes. We invoice the company on 30 day terms and send attendance reports to HR if you want them.
Always. Online sessions are taught live on Bahrain time. Recordings are there for revision, not instead of the class.
English, with Arabic support from instructors who speak it. Exam vocabulary is taught in English because the exams are.
Yes, if there is a seat in the classroom cohort running the same course.
Rejoin the next cohort's revision weeks and mocks at no charge within 12 months.
We will suggest the course, the format and a start date, and tell you the full cost. A reply within one working day.
