Nokia Al Saudia Training Center

What Nokia Al Saudia Training Center does

Nokia Al Saudia Training Center is the educational and training arm of Nokia Al Saudia, a local joint venture of Nokia Corporation established in Saudi Arabia in 2000. The center delivers professional training programs across Telecom Technology, Artificial Intelligence, IT & IPS Networking, Management, and Health & Safety, alongside a broad certification catalog spanning Digital Transformation, Next Gen-IT (DevOps, Blockchain, ML, IoT, Cybersecurity), Big Data, Cloud, SOA, Digital Marketing, Scrum & Agile, Corporate Sales, Marketing Strategy, Marketing Research, and Quality (Six Sigma). Programs are delivered via on-site training, online eLearning, virtual instructor-led sessions, and live project co-ops with universities, with credentials issued through Authorized Training Partner relationships with IAIDL, Arcitura, VMEdu, SCRUMstudy, 6sigmastudy, and SMstudy.

The underlying technology is a multi-modal training delivery platform rather than a software product. Pricing is published in Saudi Riyals with 15% VAT included, structured as one-time perpetual licenses for certification bundles (ranging from SAR 371 for entry-level digital transformation eLearning to SAR 1,785 for individual blockchain modules), with separate fees for online and onsite proctoring. The proprietary AIMA (AI & Future Tools Maturity Assessment) framework is a six-dimension assessment methodology offered as a consultancy service, not a software platform.

The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for customized corporate training (covering government and private sector organizations) with inside sales via website enrollment, phone, and email. The customer base includes major Saudi telecom operators (Mobily, STC, Zain), regulator CITC, the Ministry of Health, and multiple universities (King Saud, Princess Nourah, Prince Sultan, Shaqra). Revenue is generated through course fees, certification exam fees, and sale of eLearning and printed study bundles. The center operates solely within Saudi Arabia and is described in its own materials as a national leader in the Saudi telecom training market.

• New Horizons Computer Learning Centers: One of the world's largest authorized IT training franchises, delivering vendor-aligned certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, etc.) across multiple delivery modes. Highly comparable to Nokia Al Saudia's mix of authorized certification tracks, corporate upskilling, and instructor-led delivery.
• KnowledgeHut: Professional certification training provider (PRINCE2, Scrum, Six Sigma, ITIL, DevOps, cloud) delivered via live virtual and corporate on-site formats. Comparable to Nokia Al Saudia's Scrum/Agile, Quality, and corporate certification offerings.
