Today, everything is moving at double speed. New technologies are emerging overnight, industries are evolving, and job roles are constantly being redefined—one minute you’re learning a tool, the next it’s already outdated.
So, in this fast-paced environment, the ability to quickly pick up new skills and apply them right away has become a valuable asset, and short courses offer a practical solution that delivers just that.
Short courses are a smart option for those who want to add to their professional skills, switch careers, or finally take a class they’ve been curious about for years but never had the time for. Focused, flexible, and efficient, these courses make learning more accessible without putting everything else on hold.
Dar Al-Hekma University recognizes this need and responds with a range of short courses through its Continuing Education Center. The university has designed these programs to deliver practical knowledge, real-world application, and high-quality instruction—all in a short timeframe.
Short Courses Available at Dar Al-Hekma University
Business Communication
In any workplace, how you communicate can open doors—or quickly close them. A clear email, a well-timed response, or a strong presentation can shift how others see you and how they respond.
The Business Communication course at Dar Al-Hekma is built for those who want to strengthen those skills. During the course, you will get to deal with real, everyday business scenarios. You will learn how to write emails, prepare documents, present ideas, and navigate conversations with the right tone.
Throughout the course, you will also explore the different communication styles and learn techniques that make verbal and non-verbal interactions more effective.
This course complements many of the university’s academic programs. Take the Master’s in Commercial Law, for example. While students gain deep knowledge of legal systems and frameworks, this short course adds a practical layer by helping future lawyers communicate their ideas confidently and persuasively in courts.
The Business Communication course also focuses on active listening, conflict management, and presentation delivery—skills useful in any role at any level.
Professional Drone Pilot Training
Drones have moved far beyond weekend hobbies. Today, they’re transforming industries—film, photography, logistics, agriculture, and surveillance; the demand is rising, and so is the need for skilled, certified professionals who can fly them.
The Professional Drone Pilot Training course provided by DAH is designed to help you earn an official permit from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
By offering both theoretical and practical training, you’ll explore drone regulations, understand airspace classifications, and conduct routine maintenance and safety inspections.
On the field, you’ll practice take-offs, landings, and coordinated flight paths—including triangle and circular routes—while getting familiar with basic camera settings and flight simulation tools.
For those interested in going a step further, the program also includes two advanced tracks. The first is Drone Coding Training, which was developed for participants with a background in Python. The second is Drone Assembly and Programming Training, where you’ll learn how to build your own drone from scratch while learning the rules of safe and responsible flying.
Leadership
This short course is designed for individuals who want to adopt a leader’s mindset and develop the tools to make that mindset work. It’s built for professionals at any stage—those already in leadership roles and those preparing to step into one.
Throughout the program, you’ll learn what it truly means to lead, how to shape a clear vision, and how to inspire others.
The training explores different leadership styles and helps you identify which one aligns with your strengths. You’ll also work on decision-making strategies, understand how to manage and motivate teams, and discover how trust is gained—not demanded—in any successful group setting.
So, no matter what course you choose, you can rest assured that every single one will receive the same level of care, professionalism, and high standard that defines Dar Al-Hekma’s academic excellence.
