TIIB Exclusive: short programmes, built here
Sixteen programmes we designed ourselves, because the awarding bodies do not offer them. Four months at AED 25,000, or a one-week intensive at AED 5,000. Each one is aimed at a single job or a single business you want to start, and each is taught by someone doing that work now.
These carry a TIIB certificate rather than a Pearson award. If what you need is a qualification that transfers into a degree, take an HND instead. If what you need is to be doing the work in four months rather than in two years, take one of these.
Four months, AED 25,000

What they share
- Built and awarded by TIIB.
- No entry qualification. Working English and a real interest.
- Instalments available.
- Practical assessment. You leave with the thing you made.
Who it suits
Career changers, people already working who need one specific capability, and founders who need to run the marketing themselves until they can afford not to. Also school leavers who want to test a field before committing two years to it.
If the programme is the start of a business
The AED 2 million fund is open to any TIIB student, including on a four-month programme.
