As the first Canadian college of its kind in Dubai, The North Land Institute of Training aims to bridge global education by offering students the opportunity to begin their academic journey locally while gaining an authentic Canadian learning experience.
"The North Land Institute of Training represents a new chapter in global education. By delivering Canadian education in Dubai, it provides access to world-class learning and creates opportunities for students to pursue an international academic journey without leaving the region," said Adam Fikis, dean of business and technology at The North Land Institute of Training.
The institute adheres to Dubai's regulatory standards while maintaining the integrity and excellence of Canadian education. Its launch reinforces Dubai's position as a global education hub and supports the emirate's vision of attracting leading international institutions.
The North Land Institute of Training is celebrating Canada Day today, July 1, at its campus in Dubai Knowledge Park with the Canadian community in Dubai. On the same day, the institute is also opening its doors to the public.
