Can you study in English or Arabic, online or in person?

MENA Executive Training offers English and Arabic instruction, with the available language and format confirmed for your chosen course. Choose live online training for direct interaction with an instructor, or discuss in-person delivery for your organisation. Self-study options are available for selected courses.

The language of instruction is separate from the language of the certification exam and official study materials. We will help you check the available options before booking, including the timetable, course inclusions and whether an exam voucher is included in your chosen package.

Does completing a training course make you ISC2 certified?

Training prepares you for certification; it does not automatically award the credential. Certification is awarded by ISC2 after you meet the requirements for the qualification, which can include passing an examination, relevant professional experience and endorsement. Check the requirements for your chosen certification before deciding which course to take.
