Several key industries in the UAE are driving economic growth, from real estate and tourism to IT and financial services. With rising foreign direct investments, technological advances, and sector diversification, the UAE continues to be a global business powerhouse.
The Strategic Role of Finance in the UAE’s Growth
But behind every expanding business, every major investment, and every smart strategic decision lies a robust financial framework, creating a growing demand for highly skilled finance professionals.
Whether it’s managing capital flows, driving investment decisions, or ensuring fiscal responsibility in large-scale government and private projects, finance professionals are at the heart of the UAE’s economic momentum.
How can Phoenix Financial Training contribute to the UAE’s continued growth?
Training Career-Ready Finance Professionals
Phoenix FT is a leading provider of professional accountancy and finance qualifications throughout the Middle East and India. Founded in 2006, the training institution has a wide range of finance courses developed for school leavers and corporate clients.
Students can choose from the following courses:

Accepted in more than 170 countries, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is a global qualification that gives you the credentials to work anywhere. Training with Phoenix FT ensures you receive only the best instruction because it is thelongest-standing Platinum ACCA provider in the region.
The ACCA qualification exam covers Applied Knowledge, Applied Skills, Strategic Professional Essentials, and Strategic Professional Options.

You’ll be exam-ready and prepared for a successful finance career through Phoenix FT’s meticulously designed CFA courses.
Bespoke Corporate Training
Businesses can work with Phoenix FT on bespoke and quality training solutions for their individual and group of employees. Accountancy firms, banks and financial institutions and other commercial entities, as well as government-related organizations can consult with the training provider on a wide range of non-qualification-based training programs.
Some courses, which can be tailored to the business, include:
- Financial Statement Analysis and Business Profiling
- Fundamentals of Budgeting
- Management of Cashflows and Working Capital
- Forecasting and Decision Making in a Dynamic Environment
- VAT Administration and Procedures
Soft Skills Training
Soft skills are just as valuable as technical skills, particularly for UAE employers. During the Gulf News Edufair 2025 in Dubai, industry leaders highlighted decision-making, problem-solving, initiative, critical thinking, adaptability, and innovation as key workplace skills.
Refine your abilities through Phoenix FT’s Soft Skills Training, which provides workshops and personalized consultations.
Among its courses are:
- Basics of Risk Management
- Social Media and job search on LinkedIn
- Introduction to Project Management
- Professional CV Development
- Effective Customer Service
Jumpstart
The Jumpstart program is recommended for school leavers who want to get a head start on their careers in accountancy and finance.
The course combines the first four ACCA papers with soft skills workshops and personalized consultations through our recruitment arm, Phoenix Skills and Recruitment. It’s a program that provides not only the requisite knowledge but also confidence to help you launch a career in the finance sector.
IFRS
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a set of accounting standards developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Employees of global businesses need this training to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency in financial statements.
Phoenix FT offers two programs to help you master the IFRS:
- DipIFRS for accounting and finance professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of IFRS and its practical application in real-world scenarios, and
- CertIFRS for individuals who want to build a solid foundation in IFRS principles and understand how they are applied in practice.
The courses are easy to understand, and the study materials are exam-focused. Students also have the flexibility to choose their mode of learning through a combination of traditional classroom and online financial training. But the Dubai-based financial training institute offers more than flexible learning options to develop career-ready finance professionals.
Beyond Exams: Preparing Students for the Workplace
Phoenix FT students have a bright and lucrative future ahead of them through practical training, personalized mentorship, and career support that extends beyond the classroom.
The training institution is clear about its mission to put the student first. When you enroll in any of the courses, expect training excellence along with support that tracks your development journey, from education to employment.
Learn from professionally qualified, experienced trainers who bring real-world insight into every session, giving you the clarity, confidence, and industry perspective you need to succeed.
Phoenix FT also understands that every successful training provides a balance between studies and recreation. For example, the Jumpstart program includes social events to help students unwind. You’ll join a vibrant student community where learning goes hand in hand with connection. From cricket matches to bowling nights, there are plenty of opportunities to connect, unwind, and build lasting relationships with fellow students and faculty.
Students also thrive in a stimulating and transformative environment guided by dedicated, full-time lecturers. The Phoenix FT team provides direct, on-demand support for students throughout the learning process.
Beyond a supportive team and an encouraging environment, access to internships and job placement opportunities also play a part in helping students become successful. Through Phoenix Skills and Recruitment, current and past students receive interview coaching and tap into the training institute’s extensive employer network.
Phoenix FT works with three of the Big Four: Deloitte, KPMG, and EY, the world’s largest accounting firms.
Before Every Training
Phoenix FT’s commitment to every student begins even before classes start.
During the registration process, you’ll receive recommendations from course advisors who take the time to understand your goals. They will identify the suitable study options, and once you have all the information you need, you’ll sign on for a course and choose a package.
The demand for capable, future-ready finance professionals has never been greater as the UAE continues to be a global business powerhouse. Phoenix FT plays a critical role in meeting this demand by delivering world-class qualifications, practical skills, and career support tailored to the region’s evolving needs.
