Why Saudi organisations need strong in-house trainers
Vision 2030's Human Capability Development Program aims to align skills with the job market and localise high-skilled jobs by qualifying and training citizens. For employers, that means a steady flow of graduates and new hires who need structured, practical training.
External courses alone cannot carry that load. A train the trainer certification in Saudi Arabia helps you turn experienced engineers, supervisors and specialists into trainers who can pass on know-how to the next generation of Saudi talent.
The Human Capability Development Program includes 89 initiatives aimed at 16 direct strategic objectives.
The Saudi business landscape: Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province
Riyadh is the Kingdom's finance and corporate centre, with the King Abdullah Financial District and Olaya home to banks, multinationals and government-linked companies. Jeddah's Red Sea port drives trade, logistics, maritime and construction, while Dammam and Al Khobar in the Eastern Province anchor oil and gas, energy and industrial manufacturing.
In each region, trainers face different needs: graduate development schemes in Riyadh, frontline and logistics teams in Jeddah, and technical and safety instruction in the Eastern Province. Our train the trainer certification in Saudi Arabia shapes practice topics around your sites and the people your trainers will teach.
Industries we work with here

How we measure impact
We measure impact with the evaluate stage of ADDIE. Participants can take pre and post assessments on AssessAll, Bodhih's AI assessment platform, and their teach-backs are scored against an observation rubric. Line managers take part in check-ins to plan where each trainer will deliver first. At 30, 60 and 90 days we review sessions delivered, learner feedback and any skill checks your trainers have run with their own teams.
Pair this program with AssessAll, Bodhih’s AI assessment platform, for pre- and post-program skill measurement.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a train the trainer certificate in Saudi Arabia?
Complete a structured program that includes a practical assessment. With Bodhih, you attend the recommended four-day program at your organisation's venue or live virtual, deliver an observed teach-back and receive a certificate once you meet the standard. Employers can confirm it on our verify page.
Is the certification accepted in Saudi Arabia?
Bodhih's Train the Trainer program is ranked among the global top 7 in the Train the Trainer market by London-based research firm Technavio. The certificate is issued by Bodhih and is not a Saudi government accreditation. If your organisation needs a specific local approval, check with Bodhih before booking so we can be clear about what we can provide.
Can HRDF or other Saudi funds pay for this program?
We do not claim eligibility for HRDF or any other Saudi government funding. Rules and approved-provider lists are set locally and change over time. If funding is important to your decision, please check with Bodhih early and confirm the position with the funding body directly.
Can the program run during Ramadan?
Yes, with adjustments. Many organisations prefer shorter days during Ramadan, so we can spread the content over more sessions or switch to live virtual blocks that fit reduced working hours. We agree timings with you in advance so participants can focus and still complete the teach-back.
How long is the train the trainer course?
We recommend four days in person for full certification. A three-day focused version and a two-day short-term version are available for teams with tighter schedules. Live virtual cohorts cover the same content across shorter sessions, and every design is customised to your trainers and topics.
Is the program delivered in Arabic?
The program is delivered in English by Bodhih's Bengaluru-based master trainers. Participants can design their own practice sessions in the language they will actually teach in, and we give feedback on structure, activities and facilitation. Please mention language needs when you enquire so we can plan the cohort well.
