The UAE Academy has signed a strategic MOU with Edutech, a leading provider of technology-enabled learning solutions.

The UAE Academy is one of the leaders in providing results-focused staff and management training programmes.

The agreement, signed by CEO, UAE Academy Magdi A. Hafiz and managing director, Edutech, ASF Karim intends to exploit the availability of the Internet and associated communication technology by creating an Online Learning Academy for the Academy's various training courses.

By combining the Academy's and Edutech's strengths and strategies, both organisations are aiming to tap into the significant opportunities prevalent in the market today, which has created a greater demand for end-to-end learning solutions, said an Edutech official.

Edutech's expertise in providing quality learning solutions and services, which have been successfully implemented across many prestigious academic and corporate organisations across the Middle East, is set to benefit clients coming from the army, police, oil industry, banks and governmental department.

Edutech's vast experience in helping enhance performance at both the academic and corporate sectors by designing and deploying state-of-the-art learning solutions was a strategic factor in the UAE Academy's decision to partner with the company.

By merging the excellent content of the Academy with the best-of-breed technology and highly strategic consultancy of Edutech, the objective is to offer an integrated Online Learning Academy, which will hone the leadership abilities, soft-skills and managerial capabilities of UAE nationals and future business leaders.

The Academy has maintained partnerships with international organisations such as University of Washington, US; Texas International Educational Consortium, US; City & Guilds, UK; TAFE Queensland, Australia; American Institute of Real Estate, US; Online Trading Academy, US; and ICDL GCC Foundation, UAE to further develop its expertise in the global market.- TradeArabia News Service
