DIEC now offers City & Guilds training in English. Future plans are to offer City & Guilds training in Tourism and Business related skills. 14 students were enrolled in City & Guilds IESOL A1 Preliminary, in which all of the students were successful in passing. In addition, two students enrolled in City & Guilds Isesol A1, seven students enrolled in City & Guilds Isesol A2 and three students enrolled in City & Guilds Isesol B1, all of whom are still waiting for results.
said Bernie Roy, Deputy Director of Education, TDIC.
"In sealing this partnership TDIC has demonstrated its commitment to providing 'best-in-class' opportunities to DIEC students and Dalma's overall population."
Funded by the Abu Dhabi Government, DIEC has over 500 students on its register. The 1,000 square metre, purpose-built centre in Dalma Mall boasts three classrooms and two computer laboratories which can accommodate 32 students at any one time.
Dalma is the second largest of the eight Al Gharbia islands making up the Desert Islands multi-experiential destination, which opened its first phase in October 2008 - namely the 64-bedroom Desert Islands Resort & Spa and the Arabian Wildlife Park on Sir Bani Yas Island.
Desert Islands is a flagship destination from the expanding portfolio of TDIC, a major developer of Abu Dhabi's tourism assets. The nature-based Desert Islands project is seen as the first major step in opening Al Gharbia up to international tourism.
"There will be numerous career opportunities for local residents from Desert Islands and to assist in preparing the local population to better understand these we have created a 'walk-in' experiential centre at DIEC where students learn more about the destination's proposed future," explained Roy.
Staffed by a faculty of overseas teaching professionals and UAE nationals working in administration positions, DIEC courses are free-of-charge for Emirati students with course fees being levied for non-nationals.
