International Open Academy (IOA) is a globally operating online learning platform that offers more than 300 self-paced, instructor-led courses across a wide variety of fields: business, wellness, IT, creative arts, teaching, and more.   Their courses are internationally accredited (for instance through ICOES) and designed to be flexible, affordable, and accessible, allowing learners from anywhere — including Dubai — to upskill on their own schedule.

IOA emphasizes practical, real-world learning. Many of its programs grant CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits, making them especially attractive for working professionals seeking certifications that add value to their careers.  Since IOA is primarily an online training provider, there is no traditional “campus” or local office in Dubai, and all its offerings are delivered digitally.
