Macro Development Institute for Training receives IBTA accreditation

In a groundbreaking move aimed at enhancing the quality of training and providing the Saudi market with internationally accredited competencies, the Macro Development Institute for Training (MDIT) announced the signing of a strategic partnership agreement with the International Business Training Association (IBTA).

Under this accreditation, MDIT has become an Authorized Training Partner to offer the Certified Business Professional (CBP) program, a prestigious and globally recognized professional certification designed to meet and exceed current international business standards.

This accreditation comes at a crucial time, as the Saudi labor market is undergoing rapid transformation, requiring specialized and internationally accredited skills. Offering professional certifications like the CBP directly contributes to bridging the gap between academic education outputs and the private sector's needs, enhancing the employability of the national workforce and raising professional competence across various sectors.

This step aligns perfectly with the Human Capital Development Program, one of the key initiatives of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to prepare globally competitive citizens. By providing Saudi professionals with internationally recognized certifications in critical fields such as leadership, project management, and marketing, MDIT plays an active role in building a sustainable knowledge-based economy and reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a regional hub for talent and competencies.

What Does This Accreditation Mean for Trainees?

This partnership opens doors for professionals and aspiring individuals in the Kingdom to earn international certifications that will enhance their careers and provide them with a strong competitive edge. The CBP certification from IBTA is a global standard for core skills in the business world, and it has been earned by tens of thousands of professionals worldwide since the association’s establishment in 2003.

MDIT trainees will now be able to study and take international exams to earn CBP professional certifications in a range of specialized fields that are in high demand in the job market, including:

1. Certified Business Professional in Customer Service (CBP in Customer Service).
2. Certified Business Professional in Administrative Leadership (CBP in Administrative Leadership).
3. Certified Business Professional in Sales (CBP in Sales).
4. Certified Business Professional in Conflict Management (CBP in Conflict Management).
5. Certified Business Professional in Employee Motivation (CBP in Employee Motivation).
6. Certified Business Professional in Marketing (CBP in Marketing).
7. Certified Business Professional in Project Management (CBP in Project Management).
8. Certified Business Professional for Youth (Entrepreneurship) (CBP for Youth - Entrepreneurship).

On this occasion, an MDIT representative emphasized, "This accreditation marks an important milestone for the institute and reaffirms our commitment to offering high-quality training programs that align with the best global practices and contribute to achieving the goals of Vision 2030 for human capital development. Through this partnership, we aim to graduate a new generation of certified professionals capable of leading change and development within their organizations and contributing effectively to the prosperity of our national economy."

It is worth noting that the CBP certification exams include multiple-choice questions and practical scenarios that measure the trainee's professional competence and technical expertise, and can only be taken at accredited training centers such as MDIT.
