TRIn Dubai, private courses and training centres operate with KHDA permission under Executive Council Resolution No. 50 of 2015. For language centres that give English courses to adults, the authorised body is also KHDA. The student residence permit is defined on the official pages through enrolment at an accredited university, college, educational institution or research institute.

To offer educational activity to others in Dubai, KHDA permission is needed. KHDA permission is valid for one year and is renewed every year. English Path Dubai and Eton Institute state on their own pages that they have KHDA approval.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs list says a visa is required for Türkiye. According to Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, holders of ordinary passports are subject to a visa. The visa can be obtained through the UAE Embassy in Ankara, the Consulate General in Istanbul, travel agencies, or airlines that fly between the two countries.
The UAE National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecast a maximum temperature of 47 and a minimum of 30 degrees in the city of Dubai for 1 August 2025. A maximum humidity of 94% was given for the same day. In the 1 July 2023 bulletin, the maximum temperature was 42 degrees.
English Path's package for ages 8 to 17 in Dubai includes 15 hours of lessons a week, five half days and an evening activity. There is a full-day trip every weekend; in the sample program, Saturday includes the Grand Mosque and Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi. In the adults' Classic Morning course, 20 lessons a week are taught between 08:45 and 12:00. At Eton Institute's summer camp, lessons are on weekdays between 09:30 and 12:30.

Choose the program type by the student's age: general English for adults for ages 16 and over, and a young learner package with accommodation for younger ages.
Ask for your chosen school's current KHDA permit; the permit is valid for one year and is renewed every year.
Ask the school for the 2027 price list. English Path's 2026 list is valid until 31 December 2026.
Check the passport validity and the summer dates with the school.
Clarify the visa type with the school; Turkish citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa to enter the UAE.
Book the accommodation and the airport transfer. At English Path, a single room and a return transfer are compulsory for students under 18.
Confirm the start day; at English Path Dubai, courses start every Monday and a level test is held on the first day.
According to Resolution No. 50, in Dubai no educational activity can be offered to others without KHDA permission; a trade licence from the relevant authority is also needed. The owner of a hall also cannot let someone without a KHDA permit run a training program there. According to a 2026 text from Meydan Free Zone, KHDA is the main authority for language training for adults.

Students can get a student residence permit under the sponsorship of a parent who lives in the UAE or of an accredited university or college. In Dubai, this permit is given to foreign students enrolled in an accredited university, college, educational institution or research institute.
The minimum age in the adult courses of English Path Dubai and EC Dubai is 16. At English Path, a student under 18 must take a single room in the student residence and a return transfer. 16 and 17-year-olds can book a single room only at KSK Homes.
A visa is needed to enter the UAE with a Turkish passport. English Path mentions a 6-month study visa for ages 18 and over, and a 1-year student visa for ages 16 and 17. The school's Dubai page also describes a 30-day and a 60-day tourist visa; we suggest you confirm with the school which one is suitable before registration.
In English Path's young learner package, students stay at KSK Homes or another student residence approved by the school. Accommodation is separate for girls and boys. School staff and group leaders provide 24-hour supervision in the residence and at activities.
At EC Dubai, classes average 12 and have at most 15 students. At English Path Dubai too, a class has at most 15 students. At English Path, you need to attend at least 85% of the lessons for a course completion certificate.
Institutions that teach in Dubai get permission from KHDA and renew it every year. KHDA's website has a directory that lists training centres. The most practical way is to ask the school for its permit document for the current year.

Language schoolI had far too many countries in mind. Berkay went through each one and drew up a realistic road map. Attentive, lively and always following up; thank you.
