Your business support
ecosystem
for freelance trainers.
More visibility. Stronger proposals. Better-designed learning solutions. Measurable client value. The Hub gives independent trainers the professional infrastructure usually found only inside large training organisations — so you spend less time on the business of training and more time winning, delivering and growing.
Independent expertise, without the institutional scaffolding.
Freelance trainers across the GCC compete with consultancies that arrive with design support, proposal teams, measurement frameworks and recognised accreditation behind them. The expertise is equal. The infrastructure is not — and that gap is where opportunities are lost.
Locked behind enterprise licensing
Validated assessments and simulation platforms are priced and packaged for large organisations, leaving independents without access at any realistic scale.
Credibility questioned in the room
Without a recognised accreditation to stand on, independent consultants spend the first half of every pitch defending their legitimacy instead of designing the solution.
No measurement, no renewal
Programmes delivered without pre- and post-measurement cannot demonstrate impact — and engagements that cannot prove impact are rarely renewed.
Bilingual delivery is a hard barrier
Regional clients expect Arabic and English materials of equal quality. Producing both alone is a cost most independents simply cannot carry.
Everything you need to build better training solutions.
Twelve professional services that follow your complete commercial and learning-solution lifecycle — from identifying the client's need, to designing the solution, submitting the proposal, delivering it well, and proving what changed.
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) Assistance
Turn a client request into a defensible learning need.
Program Mapping & Learning Architecture
Convert identified needs into a coherent learning journey.
Proposal Building & Commercial Solution Support
Transform expertise into a client-ready proposal.
Content Design & Development
Build learning content that is instructionally sound and professionally structured.
Training Mode & Strategy Selection
Choose the right delivery approach for the audience and outcome.

USD 380 is the annual membership fee. The free tool entitlement is one eligible usage per quarter — four per year, not unlimited access. Additional eligible purchases carry the 40% member rate. Eligibility is not certification, and not automatic accreditation.
Phase 1 · Free registration, no credit card required
Approved membership fees, billed annually in USD. The 15%, 30% and 40% member rates apply to eligible Hub Services, IBDL tools, assessments and products — never to the membership fee itself. Individual service and tool amounts are shown where IBDL has published them.
Two decades of enterprise delivery behind every tool.
IBDL Learning Group has built, validated and delivered learning solutions across the region and beyond since 2006. The Freelancer Hub opens that portfolio to independent professionals for the first time.
Validated, not improvised
Every assessment in the portfolio rests on published research and cross-industry validation — not repackaged personality quizzes.
Built bilingual from the start
Arabic and English materials are produced together at equal quality, not translated as an afterthought.
Facilitator-ready
Simulations arrive with complete facilitator guides, scoring mechanics, debrief frameworks and participant materials.
A partner, not a vendor
The Hub is designed as a long-term professional relationship: tools first, then recognition, then community.
