World standard, grown here.
Alalamia is the Arabic العالمية: “the global.” This page explains how we keep the promise in the name.
Our story: training professionals in Damascus since 2010
Alalamia for Professional Development has been training professionals in Damascus since 2010. For more than fifteen years we have helped people and organisations build their skills in IT, management, human resources and more, and today we welcome learners at one address in Mazzeh Western Villas. 2026 is our sixteenth year, and the idea we started with has not changed: good training should change how people work, not only what they can show on paper.
Most training stops at the certificate. Alalamia was built to carry people past it. We prepare professionals for internationally recognised certifications, deliver exams through Pearson VUE and Prometric at our Authorised Test Centre in Mazzeh, and keep learning within reach through live online classes and a self-paced library. The aim is training that shows up in people's work, with advisors who stay in touch long after the exam.
A region where a professional never has to leave home to reach a world standard, and where organisations grow by developing their own people.
To raise the region's professional capability: training aligned with international standards, testing that brings global certification home, online learning that reaches people wherever they are, and programs that help organisations develop their teams.
Five commitments behind every course
Substance over show
We certify competence, not attendance: examined to Pearson VUE and Prometric standards.
World standard, local heart
Global curricula, taught in our city, in our languages, at prices our market can carry.
Learning that fits your life
In person in Damascus, live online or at your own pace, so ambition never has to wait for the right timetable.
Practice, not theory
Trainers who run real networks, lead real projects and manage real teams, and who teach from that experience.
The long relationship
From a first course to a full career; from one employee to a whole team.
