This initiative is a cornerstone of the “Dubai Real Estate Brokers” program, designed to empower Emirati citizens and integrate them into one of Dubai’s most dynamic economic sectors.
1. What is the Real Estate Diploma?
The program is a collaborative effort between the DLD’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and HCT. It provides a comprehensive academic and practical curriculum tailored to the Dubai market. Unlike short-term workshops, this is a formal diploma designed to build a generation of highly skilled, professional Emirati brokers and real estate experts.
By combining HCT’s academic excellence with DLD’s regulatory oversight, the program ensures that graduates aren’t just licensed they are fully equipped with the legal, financial, and ethical knowledge required to lead the industry.

3. Why This Matters for Emirati Citizens
This program is not just an educational certificate; it is a fast-track into the “Dubai Real Estate Brokers” ecosystem. EduPrime highlights three critical reasons for citizens to enroll:
A: Guaranteed Professional Licensing
Successful completion of the diploma automatically qualifies participants for a professional brokerage license from RERA. This bypasses several manual entry hurdles typically faced by new entrants.
