Online Courses

A reflection of the Institute's long-standing commitment to innovation, Education and Training Online is a distance-learning program that applies the latest advances in media and technology to bring relevant courses to the widest possible community of academics and practitioners. Through this initiative, we award certificates for specified courses, which are offered at no cost to the general public.

Some Courses are available in عربي (Arabic) and فارسی (Farsi)
