The UAE is one of the strongest markets in the world for UK health and safety qualifications. Contractors working across Dubai and Abu Dhabi are routinely asked for the NEBOSH International General Certificate, and IOSH Managing Safely is a standard requirement for supervisors on major construction and energy projects. Both are listed below, alongside the wider catalogue.
The timing works in your favour: UK morning sessions land in the middle of your afternoon, so a live instructor-led course fits a normal working day without early starts or evening study. CITB site management training and NVQs are booked here too, by contractors running projects to UK standards and by safety professionals working towards chartered membership.

How you can train from the UAE
Four ways to take a course, and what each one means in practice.
E-learning — start straight away
Self-paced, on any device, with no session to attend and no timezone to work around. Most courses are in English; where other languages are offered it is stated in the course description, so check before you buy.
Online (instructor-led) — live with a trainer
Scheduled sessions delivered in English only. Times shown are UK time (GMT in winter, BST in summer). The UAE is four hours ahead of the UK in winter and three in summer, so a 09:00 UK session starts at 13:00 or 12:00 your time — comfortably within the working day. A multi-day course means attending every session, so check the dates before booking. CITB SMSTS and SSSTS, including refreshers, run in this format and are booked by contractors working to UK standards worldwide, not only for UK sites.
Distance learning — study at home
Course materials with tutor support, worked through at your own pace. Available internationally.
NVQs — portfolio assessed
Construction and health & safety NVQs are available by distance learning and are booked internationally as well as in the UK. The Level 6 diploma is a recognised route towards chartered membership, and the construction NVQs sit alongside CITB site safety training for anyone working to UK standards. Assessment is portfolio-based against UK national occupational standards — where the candidate is based outside the UK, the provider confirms the assessment arrangements before you book.
Booking classroom courses from the UAE
Classroom courses are held at venues in the UK and are not listed on this page. You can still book them from the UAE for anyone in your organisation who lives or works in the UK, or who is travelling in for a project — the billing address does not need to be a UK one. Browse classroom courses to see venues and dates.
Popular subjects include Health & Safety (including NEBOSH and IOSH), Construction & Engineering, First Aid, Fire Safety and Business, Management & Legal training. You can also browse by delivery method: e-learning, live online and distance learning.
Prices are shown in your local currency, and you can pay online by card or request an invoice if your organisation prefers to be billed. Every course is delivered and certificated by the accredited provider named on the course page. Envico is an independent marketplace — check with your own employer or regulator that a qualification meets the requirement where you are.
