The UAE and the Gulf

Built for organisations, delivered at your venue.

Organisations in the Gulf have trained with us since 2017. Certifying a whole team in-house usually costs less than sending people to public courses, and your people practise on your own strategic challenges.

In-house programmes are tailored to your organisation, delivered in English, and led by Sean Blair, our founder, who flies in from Singapore.

Questions

Training from the Gulf: what people ask.

Can you run the course at our venue in the Gulf?

Yes. We certify whole teams in-house anywhere in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait, from eight people, working on your own strategic challenges.

Which days of the week do you train?

We fit the course to your working week. In the UAE, where the week runs Monday to Friday, a four-day course runs Monday to Thursday. In Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf, where the week runs Sunday to Thursday, it runs Sunday to Wednesday.

How do you schedule around Ramadan?

We avoid in-person courses during Ramadan and the Eid holidays, and agree dates with you well in advance. The best windows are mid-September to mid-December and mid-March to mid-May. Online sessions during Ramadan can be arranged around shorter working hours.

How do invoicing and payment work from the Gulf?

We invoice your organisation directly, and you pay by bank transfer. If your procurement team needs supplier registration documents, we provide them.

Is VAT charged?

We invoice businesses, and VAT is handled under the local rules that apply to your organisation. Tell us your VAT registration when you ask for a proposal and we will confirm how it applies.

Is there a public course in Dubai?

Not yet. Register your interest on this page and choose your city: if enough people register, we will schedule a four-day Advanced course and tell you first.

Can I train online from the Gulf?

Yes. Our public online courses run in UK time, which is afternoon and evening in the Gulf. Private online courses for teams can be timed for the Gulf working day.

What certification will I receive?

Certification as a facilitator of the LEGO® Serious Play® method and materials, issued digitally through Certifier with an ID anyone can verify. The LEGO Group does not certify or endorse facilitators.
