UAE shuts down education centre for unlicensed activities

A training centre has been shut down in the UAE for operating without proper licences and committing multiple violations.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research took action after inspections revealed serious offences, including unlicensed educational activities, promoting unaccredited programmes, and even running an unlicensed nursery.

The ministry also flagged safety issues and the employment of unlicensed workers.

The centre’s administrators have been referred to the Public Prosecution, fines have been imposed, and its online platforms are being blocked.

Authorities say the establishment will remain closed until proper licences are secured.

The Ministry is urging parents and students to verify that educational and training institutions are licensed and their programmes are accredited before enrolling.

Verification can be done through the ministry’s website or its customer happiness centre at 800511.
