Courses were delivered in Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai, UAE, offering students the opportunity to study in a thriving best-in-class, globally renowned center for healthcare expertise. However, due to the current Covid-19 outbreak, TAHPI has taken the plunge to deliver its much in demand, Health Facility Planning course online via modern enterprise video communication platform – Zoom. Unlike other online trainings, where the sessions are pre-recorded at the convenience of the mentor and used/played at the convenience of the students, TAHPI’s Health Facility Planning Course via Zoom is tied to a fixed schedule with LIVE classes enabling maximum face to face interaction with the tutor. Similar to TAHPI’s in-person classes, the admission of limited students are allowed for online sessions, in order to provide individual attention. Direct interaction with the tutor is a pre-requisite for TAHPI’s Health Facility Planning Course, considering, the depth of knowledge and information passed on during the sessions over 9 days.

Course Audience
This course is particularly suited to General Practice Architects and Engineers who wish to be become experienced in the design of Healthcare Facilities. It will also benefit Consultants who have been designing hospitals but without any formal training or correct orientation (effectively learning on the job). The course will also benefit Equipment Planners who frequently engage in the design of healthcare facilities only to accommodate the equipment. They do so without the thorough knowledge of other aspects of Health Facility Planning. This course will provide the strong foundations required to do this task properly. Similarly, this course will benefit Hospital Facilities Managers who carry out their own in-house refurbishments, upgrades and minor extensions.
Course Completion
An online exam and an assignment is conducted at the end of the training, after the successful completion of which, the student will receive a Certificate of Continued Professional Development (CPD). For online sessions, the certificate will be delivered as hardcopy to the preferred delivery address.
A soft copy of the certificate will also be sent to the registered email address of each enrolled student.
