The most comprehensive finance credential stack in the GCC (AED 24,000): CMA + IFRS + UAE Corporate Tax, with hands-on tax labs, FTA portal training, and the Pass-Assure™ guarantee.
The UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax effective June 2023. Every company operating here needs professionals who can handle CT computation, filing, exemptions, free zone benefits, and FTA compliance.
Taxable persons, exempt entities, free zone qualifying activities, transfer pricing rules, group relief, withholding tax, CT computation methodology, FTA portal filing, and compliance deadlines — with hands-on exercises using real scenarios.
CMA gives strategic management accounting; IFRS provides international reporting compliance; UAE Tax adds critical local knowledge. The bundled program also saves 30%+ vs individual courses.
Approximately 10–12 months, sequenced strategically: CMA foundations (months 1–6), IFRS reporting (months 4–8, overlapping), UAE tax specialisation (months 8–12).
CFO, Finance Director, Tax Manager, Group Financial Controller, Head of Compliance, FP&A Director, and senior consulting roles — the highest-paying finance positions in GCC corporations.
