Last month saw the official launch of the Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance, Middle East and Asia (HABC MEA), at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai.
The event, which included speeches from Highfield managing director Christian Sprenger and HABC chief executive Jason Sprenger, marked the launch of HABC’s base in the region, with a new office in Dubai.
“About 125 people came, from all different sectors: trainers, organisers from hotels, as well as officials from the Municipality and ambulance services,” said Christian Sprenger.

Prior to the launch of HABC MEA, the company was servicing the Middle East from its base in the UK, which meant people often had to wait to get their results back.
“One of the major things when people do an exam is that they want to get their results as soon as possible, because they are eager to know. Now we can actually process them quickly,” Jason Sprenger explained.
The qualifications available cover various areas, from F&B outlets to manufacturers.
“They will be aimed at restaurants and hotels, with different programmes depending on the type of establishment, so not everybody will have to have the same qualification — and this has never happened before,” Jason Sprenger said.
