Courses to shape diversely talented & multifaceted professionals and individuals
The 13 new courses are designed to empower learners with the skills they need to excel in their professions as well as live a fulfilling life.
Professional skills

Those who struggle to multitask will learn how to set their priorities, reduce stress by avoiding tasks that waste time. The courses will also ease those making a transition to remote work and feel ill-equipped to handle their teams; guide executives to develop necessary skills needed to effectively manage the change in the workplace; upskill managers with the ability to give effective feedback to their teams and harness their potential to lead successfully in the fast-changing digital era; and help busy professionals keen establish a proper work-life balance.
Life skills; business and entrepreneurship skills
Whether you are a university student seeking to learn the basics of photography or a young professional looking to boost their social media outreach with powerful images; or a gifted aspiring entrepreneur with strong ideas but lack the training and skills required to turn those into successful ventures, or even an established entrepreneur or working professional transitioning to remote work and feel ill-equipped to handle their teams these skills are now attainable with dedicated courses.
More specialised courses will help students, professionals and homemakers learn effective strategies to keep negative influences of toxic individuals at bay; boost your ability to influence others and convince them of what you want; and train you to better understand your subconscious mind and how it impacts life and success.
All of the new courses are available in the Arabic language or as Arabic translations. Through these courses, Badiri Online Learning Platform boosts its focus on upskilling women and men across Arabic speaking nations, consolidating its position in the region as the next big provider of high quality vocational courses in Arabic language.
