ESG and Sustainability Courses in Dubai: Programs and Fees
Read this page in Arabic: العربية | Last updated November 2026
For ESG courses in Dubai, choose by your current role rather than by title. Ten Mastering programs cover the field, and each one is self paced online. If you prepare reports, start with Mastering ESG Fundamentals. If you own the plan, start with Mastering ESG Strategy and Implementation. The sections below match each level to a program.
At a glance
- Start with Mastering ESG Fundamentals if ESG is new to your role, or go straight to a specialist program if you already work in it.
- All ten programs are self paced online at AED 2,199. The exam is separate from the course fee, so ask an advisor what it costs.
- Dubai Financial Market published an ESG reporting guide for its listed companies in 2019, so reporting teams at listed companies can read it beside Fundamentals.
- Next step: ask an advisor which program fits your role, and whether a class can be arranged in Dubai.

Which ESG course should I take first if I am new to the field?
Take Mastering ESG Fundamentals. The course page lists about 45 hours of study, and the program suits sustainability and ESG analysts, corporate communications teams, investor relations professionals and finance and accounting staff.
Dubai gives this program a local reference point. In 2019, Dubai Financial Market launched a guide on ESG reporting for its listed companies, with metrics across the governance, social and environmental areas. If your employer is listed there, read the guide next to your Fundamentals study and ask your reporting team how it is applied.
If your work is closer to CSR, corporate affairs or operations, Mastering Corporate Sustainability is the other way in. It suits sustainability managers and directors, chief sustainability officers, CSR and corporate affairs teams, and operations and facilities managers. The course page lists about 45 hours of study.
Which program fits risk, finance and procurement roles in Dubai?
Match the program to the desk you sit at. These programs serve risk, finance and buying roles, and each course page lists between 45 and 46 hours of study.

Jafza, DP World's flagship free zone at Jebel Ali, reports more than 11,000 businesses from over 100 countries. If your procurement or logistics team works from one of them, the procurement program is the one that matches your role.

Add Mastering Net Zero Strategy if energy sits inside your remit. The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy aims to meet all of Dubai's energy needs from clean sources by 2050, built on five pillars. The Net Zero Strategy program lists about 45 hours of study and suits sustainability and climate managers, energy and facilities engineers, EHS professionals, and finance and reporting teams.
ESG courses in Dubai: which program fits your role?
Choose by the work you do every day, not by the title on your badge. The list below says where each program fits and where it does not.
- ESG is new to you, or you report on it: Mastering ESG Fundamentals. If you hold an ESG program manager title, look at Strategy and Implementation instead.
- You design products or packaging: Mastering Circular Economy, about 45 hours, for product designers and engineers, sustainability managers, packaging specialists, and procurement and materials managers.
- You buy agricultural raw materials or run food and beverage or textile supply: Mastering Regenerative Supply Chain, about 46 hours. It does not suit analysts with no sourcing duties.
- You work in credit, investment or treasury: Mastering Green Finance. Skip it if your work is outside banking, investment, treasury and ESG analysis.
- You manage risk or audit: Mastering ESG Risk Management for ESG risk, or Mastering Climate Change and Business Risk for climate exposure.
