LEORON and edX launch six Professional Certificate programs in Arabic on business-critical topics
Lanham, Md. and DUBAI – April 4, 2023 – LEORON, a leading corporate training company in the EMEA region, today announced a new partnership with edX, a leading global online learning platform from 2U, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWOU) to offer the first-ever Professional Certificate programs in the Arabic language on the edX platform. LEORON’s partnership with edX begins with the launch of six Professional Certificate programs on edX.org, including human resources, strategic procurement, business process optimization, change management, financial modeling, and governance, risk, and compliance.
Enrollment for all programs is open for learners today at https://www.edx.org/school/leoron.
“We’re pleased to announce this partnership with edX and add another dimension of service to our learners. The demand for Arabic language courses is something we are keen to accommodate as our edtech portfolio continues to grow,” said LEORON Chairman Arben Jusufi. “The collaboration with edX will ensure we are able to offer a diverse selection of technology-based learning solutions with the added benefit of being placed among the world’s most renowned educational institutes.”
Professional Certificate programs are a series of courses designed to build and enhance critical professional skills needed to succeed in today’s most in-demand fields.
