Veranda Learning Solutions, a listed company providing end-to-end solutions in the education space, announced its entry to the Middle East through its popular brand, J.K. Shah Classes. The company is partnering with Jumeira University Connect, the training arm of Jumeira University, to introduce a Chartered Accountancy (CA) preparation course for students in the UAE. This initiative marks a significant milestone in Veranda Learning’s global expansion strategy.
The CA preparation course, designed and delivered by J.K. Shah Classes, has been meticulously crafted to meet the high standards of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), the regulatory authority of the Government of Dubai.
The curriculum has been designed to align with the specific educational needs and cultural context of students in the UAE, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience that combines global best practices with local relevance. KHDA’s approval further ensures that the program adheres to the highest educational standards required for the professional development of students in Dubai and the wider UAE.
J.K. Shah Classes has been a trailblazer in the field of CA, CS, CMA, ACCA, and CFA coaching since its inception in 1983. With a legacy spanning over four decades, the institution has produced over 2,000 all-India rankers and trains nearly 100,000 students annually. Veranda Learning, the parent company, reaches over half a million students each year through its diverse educational offerings. The course is set to commence soon, with admissions opening in the coming weeks.
Dr. Mounir Dhibi, President of Jumeira University, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with Veranda Learning and J.K. Shah Classes to bring this much-needed CA preparation course to our students. The alignment of our educational values with the rigorous standards of J.K. Shah Classes ensures that our students will receive top-tier coaching that is both globally recognized and locally relevant. Singularis Ventures are instrumental in developing this unique cross-border offering.”

These offerings will span various fields that will align with the unique requirements of the region. Our goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their careers, and we are committed to continuously expanding our curriculum to ensure that we provide the most relevant and comprehensive education possible.”
