accredited qualifications and certifications
01The level ladder
Every qualification sits on a level. So does every person.
The first question a learner asks is not which institute. It is where do I start, and where does this take me. The ladder answers both. It maps all fourteen accredited qualifications onto a single progression, from a first team-leading award to executive practice at Level 7, so an individual can see the next rung and a head of learning can see a whole workforce at once.

02Four ways to work with us
An academy is not a catalogue. It is a route from where a workforce is to where it needs to be.
01Accredited qualificationsFourteen programmes from CIPD, CIPS and CMI, awarded by the institute, delivered by us as an approved centre.02Professional certificationsFourteen credentials from ATD, CPD and GInI covering talent development, human resources practice and innovation.03Courses, open and in-houseFifteen categories from finance to safety, taken as a public programme or rebuilt around one organisation.04Learning and development transformationTen services that design the learning function itself, from strategy and needs analysis through to measured impact.
03Who awards what we teach
We hold the approvals. The institutes hold the standard.
A qualification is only worth the body behind it. Every programme on this site is awarded by an international institute, assessed against its published standard, and recognised by employers well beyond this region. Our job is to get people through it.

04Why organisations choose us
Training that ends at the certificate has not finished the job.
The learning sits inside a transformation group
skills+ shares an operating model with impact+, which redesigns human capital and government excellence programmes for the same institutions. When capability building is one component of a wider change, the two arrive together rather than as two suppliers with two views of the same organisation.
Bilingual by default, not by request
Programmes run in Arabic and English. Assessment support, coaching and materials follow the language the cohort actually works in, which is the difference between a completed qualification and an abandoned one.
Practitioners in the room
Our facilitators hold the credentials they teach and have run the functions they describe. Government cohorts in this region can tell within an hour whether the person in front of them has done the work.
We report on what changed, not what was delivered
Attendance is an input. We contract on completion, pass rate and applied outcome, measured against the Kirkpatrick and Phillips models at levels the client agrees before the first session.
05Learning and development transformation
Ten services that build the learning function itself.
Most organisations do not need more courses. They need a learning strategy that connects to the business plan, a clear picture of the gap, and a way of proving that the money spent changed something. That is a different discipline from teaching, and we do both.
