MG’s first overseas training academy opens in the Middle East

Iconic British automotive brand, MG announced the opening of its new Middle East training academy, the latest stage of the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence across the region. The first of its kind to be located in one of MG’s overseas regions, the new facility cements the brand’s commitment to offering the highest standards of service to its customers across the Middle East. The opening of the training academy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, also underscores MG’s focus on delivering improved skills for the long-term and ensuring training meets the needs of the business.

Available to staff from across its Middle East network, including (UAE, Oman, Bahrain, KSA), the training provided through the MG Training Academy will meet quality levels defined by a recognised and standardised accreditation process. Learning opportunities available through the MG Training Academy will range from programmes for up-skilling technicians to the company’s award-winning advanced and degree apprenticeships. Within its first year, the Academy’s curriculum will expand to cover other functional, business and management qualifications, delivered by leading universities, academic institutions and vocational training providers. Furthermore, the Academy will act as a research and development facility for testing MG vehicles prior to launching, ensuring they meet GCC specifications and regulations.

Located in the Dubai Investment Park, the new MG Training Academy has an annual learning and development outlay of some US$ 150,000. The new facility covers an area of 425 m2 including two car bays, a training room, a workshop and tooling and storage space. The provision of special tooling and training aids required for the MG products available in the Middle East will ensure that the quality of information, training and services is of the highest level.—[email protected]
