Sharjah: Designed to meet the aspirations of motivated individuals who continually seek self-improvement by developing their professional, personal and future skills without breaking the bank, the Badiri E-Academy – a free learning platform from NAMA Women Advancement based in the UAE (Badiri Education and Development Academy (Badiri), a subsidiary of NAMA), is introducing 13 new courses in the coming months – one class per week – to its existing repertoire of free online learning offerings, all designed to transmitting 21st century skills and training generations for the future.

Courses to train professionals and individuals with diverse and multifaceted talents

The 13 new courses are designed to give learners the skills they need to excel in their profession and lead fulfilling lives.

Professional skills

College graduates and job seekers will learn how to be successful in their job interviews from the start – from writing attractive, role-specific CVs to excelling in in-person and remote interviews. Those who find it difficult to multi-task will learn to set priorities, reduce stress by avoiding time-wasting tasks. Courses will also ease the transition to remote work and feel ill-equipped to manage their teams; guide managers to develop the skills needed to effectively manage change in the workplace; managers who improve their skills with the ability to give effective feedback to their teams and exploit their potential to lead successfully in the rapidly changing digital age; and helping busy professionals who want to establish a healthy work-life balance.

Life skills; business and entrepreneurial skills

Whether you’re a college student looking to learn the basics of photography or a young professional looking to boost your social media reach with powerful imagery; or a gifted budding entrepreneur with strong ideas but lack the training and skills to turn them into successful businesses, or even an established entrepreneur or working professional transitioning to remote work and feeling ill-equipped to manage its teams, these skills are now accessible with a dedicated staff course.

More specialized courses will help students, professionals, and homemakers learn effective strategies for keeping the negative influences of toxic people at bay; boost your ability to influence others and convince them of what you want; and train you to better understand your subconscious mind and its impact on life and success.

All new courses are available in Arabic language or in Arabic translation. Through these courses, the Badiri e-learning platform is focused on upskilling women and men in Arabic-speaking countries, cementing its position in the region as the next big provider of high-quality professional Arabic language courses. .

Fatima Al Hosani, Program Manager, Badiri, said: “The technologies and skills required to excel at work and in life are constantly changing over time, and so should we. Learning new work and life skills will broaden our career choices, allow us to confidently pursue new opportunities, improve our professional network, and adapt quickly to dynamic changes in work and life. Badiri E-Academy’s new courses are a gift from Sharjah to the world, because here we believe that the gift of knowledge is the best to give. Additionally, we have focused on providing most of our content in the Arabic language to specifically enhance learning and development opportunities for Arabic speakers in the region and around the world.”

“So dreamers, learners and self-improvement seekers everywhere – don’t be left behind. Excel in life and stay on top of your career with Badiri,” she added.

Classes are open to people of all nationalities aged 18 to 45. All new courses are now available on the platform website https://www.badiriacademy.org/about. They are also available on the Badiri app, which can be downloaded for free on Android and Apple devices.

Originally designed to facilitate the entrepreneurial potential of women in the UAE through its educational programs, the Badiri Education and Capacity Development Academy has globalized its reach with the launch of the Badiri e-learning platform in 2018.

The multilingual online academy has enabled 2,393 university students, entrepreneurs and job seekers from around the world to aspire to become the region’s leading content creation platform for all disciplines and has forged close partnerships with educational institutions across the UAE and around the world to deliver quality training content to men and women around the world to develop their professional and life skills.
