Yes — you can earn a Train the Trainer (TTT) or Training of Trainers (TOT) certification in Saudi Arabia with Bodhih, which has delivered its 4-day program in the Kingdom. Saudi open batches are announced periodically; meanwhile, choose an in-house batch in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam, or the live online batch (6:30 AM–3:30 PM Saudi time). Fees in SAR are on request.
Why Saudi organisations are investing in trainers
Saudi Arabia is in the middle of one of the largest economic transformations anywhere. Vision 2030 aims to diversify the economy beyond oil, grow sectors such as tourism, entertainment, mining, logistics and manufacturing, and raise the participation of Saudi nationals — including many more women — in private-sector jobs. All of that depends on people being trained quickly and well, which in turn depends on capable internal trainers.
Saudization and national upskilling
Saudization — the Kingdom's policy of increasing the share of Saudi nationals employed in the private sector, with targets that vary by sector and company size — has made structured knowledge transfer a priority. Experienced specialists, many of them expatriates, are often asked to train Saudi colleagues who will take over their roles. A Train the Trainer program gives those specialists, and the Saudi trainers who follow them, a proper method. The Kingdom also has national programmes that support private-sector training; employers should check scheme eligibility with the relevant authority, as Bodhih does not claim any Saudi accreditation or approval.
Who needs trainer skills in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam
Riyadh
The capital and the centre of government, finance and corporate headquarters. Ministries, government entities, banks, telecom and technology firms and large conglomerates run academies and leadership programs, and many regional headquarters are based here.
Jeddah
The Red Sea commercial hub and port, and the main gateway for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Trade, retail, hospitality, healthcare and logistics businesses train large frontline and service teams.
Dammam and the Eastern Province
The heart of the oil, gas and petrochemical industry, with Al Khobar, Dhahran and the industrial city of Jubail nearby. Technical, HSE and operations training is constant, usually led by senior engineers.
Across all three, typical participants include L&D and HR professionals, academy faculty, technical and HSE trainers, bank product and compliance trainers, hospitality training managers, newly appointed Saudi trainers and experienced expatriate specialists. There are no formal prerequisites.

Time-zone math for live online batches
Saudi Arabia uses Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3), with no daylight saving, so it is 2.5 hours behind India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). An online batch on the 9:00 AM–6:00 PM IST schedule runs 6:30 AM–3:30 PM in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. That is an early start, but it leaves the afternoon free. Because the Saudi working week runs Sunday to Thursday, check which days a four-day batch falls on before you commit; an in-house batch can of course be scheduled entirely within your working week. The online TTT page explains how practice deliveries work on screen.
Program key facts
The Bodhih Certified Train The Trainer (TTT) Program covers adult learning (andragogy, Kolb, Bloom's Taxonomy), instructional design with ADDIE and Training Needs Analysis, advanced facilitation and virtual delivery, and evaluation with Kirkpatrick's four levels, ending with an assessed certification delivery. You receive a verifiable credential ID, a LinkedIn digital badge and lifetime alumni access. See the curriculum and our explainer on Training of Trainers (TOT).
In-house TOT for Saudi organisations
For a ministry academy, energy company, bank, hospital or hospitality group building a cadre of national trainers, an in-house batch is usually the best route. It runs at your venue, on your working days, with your own group composition, and participants redesign your real modules — HSE inductions, service standards, product or compliance training. You finish with certified trainers and material ready to cascade across regions. Senior trainers who will go on to develop other trainers may also consider Bodhih's Master Trainer Certification. See the corporate Train the Trainer program.
Nearby locations
Bodhih supports participants in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Dhahran, Jubail, Makkah, Madinah and other Saudi cities, and across the Gulf in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the UAE. See the Qatar page and all locations Bodhih serves.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Train the Trainer (TOT) course in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Bodhih has delivered the Bodhih Certified Train The Trainer (TTT) Program in Saudi Arabia, and open batches in the Kingdom are announced periodically. No Saudi open batch is on the calendar right now, so you can join the live online batch or arrange an in-house program in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or elsewhere. Email solutions@bodhih.com to check.
What is the TOT fee in Saudi Arabia?
Fees for Saudi Arabia are shared on request in SAR, because they depend on format, city and group size. Email solutions@bodhih.com with your preferred format — in-house, online or open batch — your city and the number of participants, and the team will send a quote.
What time do online sessions run in Saudi Arabia?
Online batches follow the India schedule of 9:00 AM–6:00 PM IST. Saudi Arabia (UTC+3) is 2.5 hours behind India, so the day runs from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Ask about batch days too, since the Saudi weekend is Friday and Saturday.
Is the program accredited by a Saudi authority?
Bodhih does not claim accreditation or approval from any Saudi authority. The Bodhih Certified Trainer credential is issued by Bodhih Training Solutions and can be verified online by its unique ID. If you need a locally accredited course or plan to use a national training-support scheme, check eligibility with that authority first.
Can we run the TOT for Saudi national trainers in Arabic?
Delivery language and materials for in-house batches are agreed when you enquire. Whatever the delivery language, participants can practise on their own content, including Arabic-language modules they deliver to their teams. Email solutions@bodhih.com with your requirements so the team can advise what is possible.
Can women-only or segregated batches be arranged?
In-house batches are organised around your organisation's own policies, venue and group composition, so you decide who attends each batch. Mention any specific requirements when you enquire, and the team will plan the delivery accordingly. The live online batch is another option for participants who prefer to join from their own office or home.
