CACHE Level 3 + KHDA-Approved Teaching Skills - East Bridge Training (EBT)

Course Overview

The CACHE Level 3 qualification offers a strong foundation in child development, early learning frameworks, and inclusive teaching practices, preparing educators to support children’s holistic growth and well-being. Meanwhile, the KHDA-Approved Teaching Skills component focuses on classroom management, instructional design, and the UAE’s educational expectations, equipping teachers with practical tools and cultural understanding to succeed in Dubai’s multicultural learning environments.

Whether you are starting your journey as an early childhood educator or enhancing your professional profile with recognised teaching credentials, this program provides everything you need to excel. Graduates emerge with internationally respected qualifications, regulatory approval from the KHDA, and the confidence to teach effectively across nursery, early years, and primary levels in the UAE’s dynamic education sector.

Why KHDA Accreditation

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has introduced an update to its 2025 Teacher Recruitment and Mobility Policy, officially recognising the Level 3 qualification in Early Childhood Education as the minimum requirement for Nursery Teachers working with children aged 45 days to 35 months.

Additionally, the policy now mandates that Pre-KG and Foundation Stage teachers (for ages 3 to 6) must possess a Bachelor’s degree (Level 6) along with a Level 3 qualification in Early Childhood Education, ensuring that educators meet both academic and pedagogical standards.

The East Bridge Training (EBT) program is fully aligned with these new KHDA standards, providing learners with both the CACHE Level 3 and the KHDA-approved certification needed to start or advance a teaching career in Dubai’s early years and primary education sector. Read the Full KHDA Guide
