UAE Shuts Unlicensed Training Centre, Refers Managers to Public Prosecution

Authorities say the unnamed centre must obtain required licences before any reopening.

Overview

  • Inspections found the centre operating an unlicensed nursery, enrolling students without approvals, and promoting unaccredited programmes.
  • Labour inspectors also cited breaches of public safety and the employment of unlicensed workers.
  • Officials imposed fines and ordered the closure to remain in place until all licences are secured, with oversight campaigns continuing.
  • Education, labour and economic regulators coordinated the enforcement, and the digital regulator is moving to block the centre’s websites and social accounts.
  • The ministry withheld the centre’s name and location and urged families to verify licences and accreditation via its website or by calling 800 511.
