GLOMACS® Europe

What GLOMACS® Europe does

GLOMACS Training & Consultancy is a privately held professional development training provider founded in 1994 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with a wholly-owned regional subsidiary (Saudi GLOMACS) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The company serves corporate enterprises, government entities, and individual professionals across 50+ cities in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and North America, and has trained more than one million professionals cumulatively over its 30+ year operating history. Named customers include Chevron, Dragon Oil, Sonangol, Dubai Electricity & Water Authority, Dubai Police, Bupa, DIFC, SAMI, and various government departments.

The core offering is a catalog of 1,000+ training courses across 60+ subject areas — including leadership and strategy, AI and emerging technologies, finance and banking, project and contract management, HR and talent management, operations and quality, sales and customer service, engineering and technical disciplines, and HSE and security — delivered through three formats: public classroom training at 50+ global venues, online distance learning, and customized in-house corporate programs at client premises. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 29993:2017 (learning services) certifications and maintains partnerships with nine international certification bodies (CPD, ILM, PMI, HRCI, CertNexus, SSC, KHDA, NASBA, IIBA), which embed its courses into professional credentialing pathways.

Revenue is generated through two professional services streams: per-seat public course enrollment and bespoke in-house corporate training contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; in-house contracts may run on multi-year terms. The underlying technology layer is a conventional training delivery platform supporting classroom scheduling, online course access, and in-house program coordination. The stated headcount of 6 contradicts the operational scale, indicating reliance on a contracted facilitator network — a structure typical of the professional training sector. The company markets through its website, downloadable training calendars (2026 and 2027 editions), an email newsletter with 100,000+ subscribers, YouTube, and Instagram.
