About Garnet
Garnet Global Training Center designs and delivers professional training for industry, business and government, in English and Arabic, in classrooms across the Gulf, the Middle East, Europe and Asia, online, and inside client organisations.
Why the name
A garnet is a hard, deep-red gemstone that only shows its value once it is cut well. We see training the same way: the material is your people's experience, and a good program shapes it to fit the work they actually do.
Vision and mission
Vision: to be the first choice in the region for practical training that changes how work is done.
Mission: to give professionals skills they can use the next working day, in the language they think in, at a time and place that suits them.
How we teach
- Instructors with field and industry experience, not only academic background.
- At least 40% of course time on exercises, case studies and workshops.
- Pre- and post-course assessment to show what changed.
- Materials in English, Arabic or both.
- Small classes so every participant is heard.
- Certificates stating contact hours for your CPD records.
