Learners Point Academy

What Learners Point Academy does

Learners Point Academy is a Dubai-based, KHDA-approved professional training institute founded in 2001 that delivers certification and corporate training across HR, cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, finance and accounting, and leadership disciplines. The institute operates as an authorized training partner for major global certification bodies including ISC2 (CISSP, CCSP), ISACA (CISM, CISA), EC-Council (CEH), CompTIA (Security+, Network+, Cloud+), IMA (CMA, Gold Provider status), HRCI (SPHRi), CPD UK, Scrum Alliance, and Peoplecert. Course delivery spans instructor-led classroom training at a Dubai campus with dedicated IT labs, live-interactive online sessions, and on-site corporate training engagements. The curriculum has progressively embedded Microsoft Copilot across multiple certification programs for AI-assisted threat analysis, incident response optimization, and HR-analytics workflows, alongside use of an AI-enabled automation sandbox for HR practice.

The business operates a hybrid B2C/B2B model. Individual professionals enroll directly via the institute's website, phone, email, and WhatsApp channels, with installment-payment options enabled through partnerships with Tamara (buy-now-pay-later) and ADCB. Corporate clients engage through dedicated corporate-training programs delivered on-site or virtually with customized curriculum. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per course. Marketing relies on organic SEO, a content-marketing blog, brochure downloads, demo-class bookings, and direct inquiry funnels. The academy claims to have trained over 500,000 professionals across 100+ countries since founding, supported by a stated bench of 1,000+ expert trainers, though no revenue, employee count, or financial performance figures are publicly disclosed.

The company is privately held, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with no disclosed parent company, investors, or M&A activity. Operational scale signals include a stated aggregate of 30,000+ enrolled students across visible certification courses and 100+ workshops run monthly. Acquisition-related signals are absent; expansion has been organic through new certification launches (e.g., UAE Corporate Tax, Unity 3D, IoT) and the AI/Copilot curriculum integration rather than through inorganic growth.
