Recognition and rules in UAE

• Private education is regulated at emirate level, for example by KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi and SPEA in Sharjah, with federal rules also applying. Requirements for lead teachers can include a relevant degree and a teacher licence.
• APTTI's courses are not KHDA-approved training. If a centre specifically needs KHDA-approved or licensed training, check before enrolling.
• International fees are paid in USD: 170, 325 or 475.

Documents and attestation

Gulf employers and visa authorities usually ask for educational documents to be attested: by the issuing country's authorities, the destination country's embassy, and then that country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Your degree or 10+2 certificate matters most for visas; ask admissions how APTTI supports attestation of its certificate.
