It quickly expanded its operations to the wider region of the Middle East, as well as opening up branches in Europe, Americas, East Asia and South Asia over the last five years.Romina Mahtani, V.P.

This is very unique for an educational establishment that started locally and has grown internationally, and we owe part of our success to partners such as Dubai Knowledge Village and to the progressive and innovative economic policies of the UAE governance.Over the last 10 years, while the UAE has attracted overseas establishments as an important and attractive growth market renowned for its economic stability, Eton Institute has looked outward and expanded in other regions by setting up training centres in Vienna, New York, Hong Kong and New Delhi, spreading its operations across 4 continents and serving a client base of over 3,000 companies and nearly 100,000 individual learners globally.
