General FAQ

Are there any prerequisites to join?

Most courses are open-entry and require no prior training. For advanced or technical programs, we may recommend specific background knowledge or work experience, which will be stated in the course outline.

Yes. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Turning Point Training Institute Certificate of Completion, issued and attested by the KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority) upon request. For customized on-the-job programs, participants may also earn CPD-accredited points, recognized by professional bodies internationally, also upon request.

Our courses are built for real-world impact through an On-the-Job Training (OJT) delivery model. We focus on field-relevant skills, actual workplace scenarios, and job-specific outcomes—ensuring participants apply what they learn directly within their day-to-day roles. Training is not limited to the classroom; it’s embedded into real tasks, real tools, and real-time operations to maximize relevance and retention.

In select cases, participants may be able to use their training experience as part of a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process to earn academic credit at a university. Turning Point acts as a facilitator—we help you document your learning, align it with academic standards, and prepare submissions. However, we do not guarantee credit transfer. Final decisions rest entirely with the admitting university, based on its internal criteria, policies, and case-by-case evaluation.
