What Bakkah Learning Is
Bakkah Learning is a professional certification and training provider based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to the contact details on its home page (Al Thumamah Road, Al Munsiyah District). It prepares professionals for recognized certifications in project management, human resources, business analysis, IT service management, quality and change management, and it sells shorter skills courses alongside them. The site runs in English and Arabic, and several of its best-known programs, including PMP and CAPM, have separate Arabic-language versions.
The home page puts numbers on the operation: 76800 learners, 4900 sessions, 730 programs and solutions, and 1010 B2B clients. Its tagline is "Every career stage deserves a step forward," and the offer is organized so that a fresh graduate, a career changer and a senior professional each find a starting level. A separate For Organizations section sells corporate training, and the site lists a live online training schedule, so the model mixes scheduled live classes, self-study and exam practice rather than relying on recorded video alone.

Exam Simulators
For test prep specifically, Bakkah sells exam simulators as separate products, which suits candidates who have studied elsewhere and only want practice under exam conditions. The menu lists simulators for CAPM (in English and Arabic), PMP 8th Edition (in English and Arabic), PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-SP, PgMP, PfMP, M_o_R, MSP and MSP Practitioner, MoP, P3O, PRINCE2 Agile, Scrum PSM (with review questions), ECBA, CCBA, CBAP, IIBA-AAC, IIBA-CCA, IIBA-CBDA, PMI-PBA, ITIL 4 and ITIL 5 Foundation, each ITIL 4 Specialist, Strategist and Leader module, COBIT 5, DevOps Foundation and DevOps Leader, the three Lean Six Sigma belts, and CCMP. The simulators cover almost every certification the company teaches.
Skills Courses Beyond Certification
Next to the credential tracks sits a catalog of shorter professional courses. Business skills include business writing, time management, strategic planning, design thinking, presentation skills, Microsoft Excel, negotiation, problem solving and decision making, change management, communication, productivity, and report writing, with several taught in Arabic (professional ethics, conflict management, strategic internal communication, leadership skills, operational goals and KPIs). There is a Power BI course, an AI track (AI in the workplace, machine learning foundations, generative AI and prompt engineering, deep learning, Python for AI), cybersecurity basics including ethical hacking for beginners, marketing courses on e-commerce, dropshipping and growth marketing, and leadership and governance courses on procurement, law and governance, and asset management.
The Bakkah Career Growth Hub groups courses into five career paths: She Can, Career Shifters, Entrepreneur, Business Professionals and Fresh Graduate, each pointing a learner at programs suited to that stage.
How Learning and Buying Work
The home page lists three promises. "Money Guaranteed" says the payment policy "ensures money refund within a specific duration if requested," and the footer links to a refund policy, general policies and a rewards system policy. "Global Accreditation" reads "Our partners of success are all globally identified as masters in their fields," with a "Meet Our Partners" section. "Flexibility in Learning" says you can choose your option "to learn whenever and wherever you are." The footer carries the trademark notices for the AXELOS and PMI certifications the catalog teaches. The home page itself carries no prices; it advertises seasonal National Day offers and a shopping cart.
Testimonials describe the live format. One learner wrote: "I attended a five-day Live Online course with Bakkah Learning, and it was an outstanding learning experience," praising the trainer's delivery and the customer service team. Another wrote: "I enrolled in an online training course and a certification exam. Thanks to God, I successfully earned the certification and achieved a score higher than my target," citing "prompt responses to inquiries, the comprehensive learning materials they provided, and the smooth exam registration process." So Bakkah handles exam registration as part of the package for at least some programs. The home page shows a Google rating of 4.5 stars from 258 reviews.
Support runs by email (contactus@bakkah.com) and WhatsApp, and the site also publishes webinars, a blog and an Arabic knowledge center; two of its Arabic articles are long guides to choosing and implementing a learning management system, written as background for the company's corporate training services.
For Organizations
The For Business section promises world-class corporate training, offering "tailored learning experiences for businesses of all sizes" built from Bakkah's accredited programs, with a "See Plans" link to corporate plans. With 1010 B2B clients claimed on the home page, team training is a large part of the business, and the Arabic programs make it practical for Saudi and Arabic-speaking teams.
Who It Suits
Bakkah fits professionals in Saudi Arabia and the wider Arabic-speaking region who want a recognized certification with a live trainer and exam registration handled for them, particularly in project management (PMP, CAPM), HR (CIPD levels 3 to 7, Saudi labor law) and business analysis (the IIBA family). Candidates who just need practice can buy a simulator on its own. Employers training teams across several frameworks get one provider for all of them. Learners who want to compare prices before contacting anyone will need to open individual program pages, since the home page lists none.
