"Obtaining Recognised Provider status in Dubai is excellent news. Now we’re able to offer our Middle Eastern clients high-quality, bespoke in-house management and leadership training endorsed by ILM, Europe’s premier organisation in leadership and management development," said Stacey Reynolds, Managing Director Middle East.

"It’s doubly exciting news because we’ve just moved to the Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV), the world’s only Free Zone area dedicated to human-resource management and learning excellence. DKV’s aims of developing the region’s talent pool and establishing the UAE as a knowledge-based economy are very closely aligned with 10Eighty’s values and objectives. I can’t wait to run our first course there!"

DKV is a unique hub that offers a wide range of human-resource management, consultation, training, and personal-development programmes on a one-kilometer-long campus located in the heart of Dubai.
