Live Online Agile, Scrum Master & SAFe® Training for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE

The Agile Forum teaches 100% live online, so professionals in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the United Arab Emirates join small, instructor-led cohorts from home or the office. We have no UAE office or classroom — you learn live with the trainer over video, on a real project, with every class time converted to UAE time below.

Converted from the published India (IST) schedule. UAE time (Gulf Standard Time) does not change for daylight saving, so the conversion is the same all year.

Scrum Master, Product Owner and BA roles in the UAE

Dubai and Abu Dhabi host the regional headquarters of many international companies, as well as large banks, airlines, telecoms, real-estate groups and government entities with ambitious digital programmes. Agile delivery roles appear across banking, aviation, telecoms, e-commerce and government technology.

Job titles in the UAE mix Agile and traditional project language: you will see Scrum Master, Agile Delivery Manager, Product Owner, Business Analyst and Project Manager, sometimes for the same kind of work. Many adverts list a certification such as PMP, CSM or SAFe®, but interviews still probe for hands-on delivery examples.

Large organisations in the region often run several Agile teams inside one programme, so SAFe® knowledge — PI Planning, Agile Release Trains and cross-team dependencies — is a useful addition once your hands-on Scrum skills are in place.

How the class times fit a UAE day

Batches are scheduled in India Standard Time (IST), which is only 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE. Neither country uses daylight saving, so the times below stay the same all year.

The evening India mentorship batch is a 6:00–7:30 PM class in the UAE — right after work — so most UAE learners choose it. The early India batch runs 5:30–7:00 AM, which suits early risers. Every mentorship class is recorded, and you can rejoin the next batch free.

SAFe® weekend workshops run 1:00–9:00 PM IST on Saturday and Sunday, which is 11:30 AM–7:30 PM in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — a daytime slot across the UAE weekend.

How live online classes work from the UAE

Every class is live on video with the trainer on a real JIRA board — join from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the Emirates. You set up and run the project on your own laptop, act as Scrum Master and Product Owner in simulated sprint events, and get personal feedback in a small cohort of about 4–6 learners.

What you get as a learner in the UAE

  • Live, instructor-led classes — not pre-recorded videos — with recordings included in the mentorship programmes.
  • A live JIRA project on your own laptop, with sprint events simulated end to end, so you have concrete delivery stories for UAE interviews.
  • Small cohorts (about 4–6 learners), so you get feedback on your own backlog, ceremonies and stakeholder conversations.
  • SAFe® certifications taught by a SAFe® Program Consultant (SPC) with the exam fee included, and a 99% first-attempt pass rate across past batches.
  • One trainer for every batch: Dhirender Verma, SPC, SAFe® Authorized Trainer and Enterprise Agile Coach.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer Scrum Master and Agile training in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Yes, live online. Learners in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE join our instructor-led cohorts over video. We do not have a UAE office or classroom, so there is no commute and the same trainer teaches every batch.

What time are the classes in the UAE?

UAE time is 1 hour 30 minutes behind India all year, with no daylight saving. The evening India mentorship batch (7:30–9:00 PM IST) is a 6:00–7:30 PM weekday class in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the morning India batch (7:00–8:30 AM IST) runs 5:30–7:00 AM. SAFe® workshops run on Saturday and Sunday, 1:00–9:00 PM IST, which is 11:30 AM–7:30 PM in the UAE. Next batches in UAE time: 6 Oct – 26 Oct 2026 · Batch 1 · 5:30–7:00 AM UAE; 6 Oct – 26 Oct 2026 · Batch 2 · 6:00–7:30 PM UAE; 10th & 11th - OCT 2026 · 11:30 AM – 7:30 PM UAE.

How much does the training cost in UAE dirhams?

Scrum Master / Agile PM or BA / PO live-project mentorship: AED 1,831.33. SAFe® Agilist, POPM or Scrum Master: AED 1,699 including the exam fee. Mock Interview Series: AED 913.83. New resume, cover letter and LinkedIn upgrade: AED 550.50. You can pay in dirhams or US dollars at checkout.

Is the SAFe® exam fee included for UAE learners?

Yes. The AED 1,699 fee for SAFe® Agilist, POPM and SAFe® Scrum Master includes the certification exam fee, 16 hours of live SPC-led training and exam preparation. Past batches have a 99% first-attempt pass rate.

Do the weekend SAFe® workshops fit the UAE working week?

For most people, yes. Since 2022 the UAE federal government week runs Monday to Friday, and many private employers follow the same pattern, so a Saturday–Sunday workshop from 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM UAE time normally needs no time off work.

I already have a PMP or a CSM — is the mentorship still useful?

Often, yes. Many UAE roles ask for a certification, but interviews focus on how you have actually run sprints, handled stakeholders and delivered. The live-project mentorship is not a certification — it gives you hands-on practice on a real JIRA project and recent examples to talk through. We do not currently run PMP, CSM or PSM courses, and we do not promise job placement.

Who teaches the classes?

Dhirender Verma — SAFe® Program Consultant (SPC), SAFe® Authorized Trainer, Enterprise Agile Coach and large-scale Agile transformation consultant — teaches every live batch.
