The courses and workshops offered by Maltese company Beat Limited in the UAE, through its international partner Informa Middle East, are now in their sixth year. These training programmes, which draw on the expertise of Beat in providing integrated business transformation solutions, have established the reputation of this company as a provider of specialist management training in the region.

Beat CEO David Galea explained that the alliance with Informa, established in 2012, which was primarily designed to kick off training programmes by the company in the UAE, was a significant milestone at a time when Beat was still exclusively oriented towards the Maltese market. The alliance also opened the doors for the important exhibition market in the region.

“Apart from boosting our confidence in terms of the relatively small Maltese advisory company we were then, our agreement with Informa and our subsequent entry into the UAE market eventually gave us the leverage to negotiate important strategic alliances with companies in the USA, Italy, and the UK, among others,” said Mr Galea.

Beat COO Joseph Micallef, who has been running and delivering the training programmes since their inception, said: “Nowadays, through our landmark alliance with Informa, we continue to provide quality training to an extensive suite of clients in the UAE. Our programmes benefit from accreditations by major institutions, such as the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certification Service in the UK, and cover areas related to our core expertise as an advisory company, including business process management, as well as portfolio, programme, project and change management. These are applied, among others, to the oil and gas industry, manufacturing, banking, shipping and government.”
