Accessibility & Inclusive Design Training for Professionals in the UAE

Practical knowledge. Policy alignment. Professional confidence.

At Empower Design Co., we believe that good design does more than meet a standard — it changes lives.

We specialize in inclusive design across the UAE, helping homeowners, developers, and hospitality leaders create spaces that serve everyone — especially People of Determination. From luxury villas to boutique hotels, we provide practical and aesthetic design solutions that promote independence, comfort, and long-term usability.

Our approach is grounded in Australia’s SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) framework and tailored for the cultural, architectural, and regulatory landscape of the United Arab Emirates.

Who Our Training Is For

Architects & Designers

Learn how to apply inclusive design from concept to construction. Modules cover accessible layouts, assistive tech planning, material selection, and design review processes.

Hotel & Facility Managers

Understand what it means to welcome all guests, not just accommodate them. Learn how to improve guest experience, conduct internal audits, and create action plans for upgrades.

Government & Municipal Staff

For planning departments, inspectors, and policy writers, our sessions offer insight into how global standards can be practically applied in UAE projects.

Construction & Fitout Teams

We provide on-site or classroom-based sessions to align building contractors and installers with accessibility specifications — reducing mistakes, rework, and compliance risk.

Training Formats We Offer

Workshops

Full-day or half-day sessions, delivered in-person or virtually

On-site Training

Hands-on sessions conducted at your property or job site

Certification Programs

Multi-module courses leading to internal or third-party credentials

Custom Briefings

Short, executive-level overviews for senior stakeholders and board members

What You'll Learn

Our training is practical, not theoretical. Participants gain:

Clear understanding of SDA and international inclusive design standards
Knowledge of UAE’s accessibility vision and emerging regulations
Skills to evaluate, design, and manage spaces for People of Determination
Real-world case studies from both the UAE and global benchmarks
Checklists, tools, and templates for immediate application

You’ll leave with confidence — and the capability to lead inclusive change.

Why This Matters Now

The UAE’s vision for inclusivity demands more than infrastructure. It requires awareness and expertise.
Developers and designers are being held to higher expectations by investors, regulators, and the public.
Government-backed projects increasingly require accessibility verification or inclusive certification.
Training future-proofs your team, your brand, and your projects.
