HOCK International Acquires Bradford Learning Global to Drive Growth in UAE and Region

The acquisition strengthens HOCK’s collaboration with training providers across the GCC, expanding access to professional development and corporate training programs while fostering regional growth and partnership opportunities.

HOCK international, a leading provider of professional certification exam preparation, is excited to announce its acquisition of Bradford Learning Global (BLG), a UAE-based organization known for its comprehensive courses, both exam-based and non-exam-based, in accounting, finance, and professional skills development. With this acquisition, HOCK strengthens its presence in the GCC and broadens the reach of its study materials for certifications like CMA, CIA, EA, FMAA, CSCA, and more. 

“We are thrilled to expand into the GCC through this acquisition, which allows us to work closely with local partners and provide tailored solutions for professional growth,” said Brian Hock, President of HOCK international. “Our goal is not to compete with existing providers of CMA live courses, but rather to collaborate, helping students and training providers thrive together.“

Key benefits of the acquisition:

• Offering HOCK and BLG study materials through partnerships with local trainers and training providers.
• Leading corporate training and developing specialized programs tailored to regional needs.
• Fostering collaboration with existing CMA course providers and supporting training providers in other certification programs.

Integrating BLG into HOCK enhances the company’s ability to deliver top-tier professional education across the UAE and the GCC. This acquisition opens doors to new collaborations with local training providers and corporate partners, ensuring mutual growth for providers and students alike.
