Udemy launches AI-powered platform in Arabic as it plans expansion across the Middle East
The new localized Udemy platform offers an enhanced user experience in Arabic, enabling organizations to upskill in high-demand, emerging roles.
As one of the world’s most widely used languages, Arabic is spoken by more than 300 million people worldwide. In the past year, more than one million learners have enrolled in Arabic courses from Udemy’s Multi-Language Collection which includes courses on AI, cloud computing and communication.
“At Udemy, we believe language should never be a barrier to professional growth,” comments Hugo Sarrazin, President and CEO at Udemy. “Localizing our platform in Arabic strengthens our ability to serve our growing customer base across the region with culturally relevant, high-quality reskilling experiences. With this launch, we’re helping unlock new opportunities for workforce development, product innovation, and business growth throughout the Arabic-speaking world.”
“With Udemy's platform now available in Arabic, professionals in the region can seamlessly access high-quality, locally relevant learning experiences," adds Dr. Ryan Ahmed, Udemy Instructor, CEO at Stemplicity, and Assistant Professor at McMaster University.
"This advancement not only removes language barriers but also empowers Arabic-speaking professionals and leaders to build critical skills with greater confidence, speed, and cultural resonance.”
Dr. Ahmed's course, Artificial Intelligence from Beginner to Professional, is available in Arabic to enterprise customers and learners on the Udemy platform.
