Blue Ocean Academy is proud to support the UAE nationals with free professional training which would create a breakthrough in their careers. This initiative has been taken by the Academy to do its bit towards contributing to the nation's determined efforts to promote education and learning in these tough times. UAE Nationals can enroll themselves or even nominate other Emirati friends in their circles to join the course.

As part of the ‘Dubai Cares’ initiative, the Government had launched a nationwide campaign called ‘Education Uninterrupted’ this month to tackle the adverse impact, caused by the CoVid19 lockdown, particularly on education and schoolchildren in the UAE. The campaign urges the UAE community to support the financially-challenged children to continue their education through distance learning.

In support of the efforts taken by the Ministry of Education, Blue Ocean Academy has come up with a scheme to provide free online training for the UAE nationals which will help them to upskill themselves for a brighter future. This is to express our gratitude to a nation and its people who have supported the growth and sustenance of Blue Ocean Academy over the last two decades.

As part of this initiative, UAE Nationals will get online training in our popular courses to help them upgrade their knowledge and skills, from the comfort of their homes. This is also in line with the nation's endeavours to promote distance learning amongst the public and ensure the safety of the students. Participants will need to pay only the examination fee to the certifying body. Those who don’t need the international certification can avoid the examination fee and choose to receive only the course completion certification approved by Knowledge and Human Resources Authority (KHDA) at zero cost.

Following is the list of courses for which we offer FREE online training:

• Certified International Supply Chain Professional (CISCP)
• Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP)
• Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP)
• Certified Office Administrator (COA)
• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB)
• Project Management Professional (PMP)
• IATA Passenger Ground Services Agent (PGSA)

The last date for registration is 30th May 2020.

“Blue Ocean Academy’s mission is to improve the knowledge and skills of individuals which will help them in building a successful career. I hope that the free training will be a great motivation for them to feel confident in these challenging times and address the job security issues with an additional qualification in their industry,” remarked Dr Sathya Menon, Executive Director at Blue Ocean Academy.

Praising the initiative, Dr Jasim Al Ali, the Deputy CEO of Corporate Sector and CEO of Happiness and Wellbeing at Dubai Media Incorporated commented, “I appreciate the great initiative by Blue Ocean Academy to support the UAE Nationals in this lockdown time by providing free training. I wish them all success." 

Commenting on the initiative, Mohamed Al Ali, the Managing Director & Head of Cash Management at First Abu Dhabi Bank said, “This is a great opportunity for all the UAE nationals and I hope that they will utilize this to upgrade their skills to overcome the existing challenges”.
