One campus, built for Dubai
IBTE Dubai exists to make a recognised British qualification reachable in cost and in schedule for the people who live and work in this city.
IBTE DubaiInstitute of Engineering, Technology and Innovation FZ-LLC is an esteemed educational institution authorized by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) to offer vocational and language courses. Holding trade license number 98770 from the Dubai Development Authority, the institute is committed to delivering high-quality education.
Make quality education easy to reach
A qualification should not be gated by a plane ticket, a full year's fees paid upfront, or a timetable that assumes you do not work.
IBTE Dubai was established to remove those three barriers at once. We teach qualifications awarded by UK organisations, at fees set for this market, on timetables that accommodate employment from one campus, so that every resource we have goes to the students in front of us.
We are part of the C Group of Companies, an organisation founded in 1967 with a long record in education. That backing is what lets us keep programme prices low and instalment plans genuinely flexible.
Vision
To be Dubai's most trusted route into British higher education the campus a student picks not because it is the only option, but because the teaching, the price and the outcome all hold up to comparison.
Access before prestige
Affordability and open entry routes come first. A Level 3 foundation place is as important to us as a Level 5 diploma.
Applied over abstract
Assessment is built on projects, briefs and portfolios that resemble the work our graduates go on to do.
Accountable outcomes
We measure ourselves on completion, assessment outcomes and employment not on enrolment numbers.
