Welcome to the Mount Institute of Business Development (MIBD) website.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of www.mountinstitute.com (the "Website"), operated by Mount Institute of Business Development DWC LLC ("MIBD", "we", "us", or "our").

By accessing or using this Website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue using the Website.

These terms apply specifically to the Website. Admission, enrolment, academic participation, tuition payments, refunds, and other student-related matters are governed by the applicable offer letter, Student Handbook, and other written agreements or policies issued by MIBD.

1. About MIBD

Mount Institute of Business Development DWC LLC is a training institute based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

MIBD operates under an Educational Services Permit issued by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Permit No. 630585.

MIBD is also an OTHM Approved Centre (Centre No. DC2209716), offering qualifications awarded by OTHM, a UK awarding organisation regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual).

The Website provides information about MIBD, its academic programmes, admissions, qualifications, fees, scholarships, campus facilities, student services, and related educational opportunities.

2. Website Information and Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on this Website is accurate, relevant, and up to date.

However, programme details and other information may be updated to reflect academic requirements, institutional policies, regulatory changes, or operational circumstances.

This may include changes to:

Programme availability, content, structure, and duration.
Entry requirements and admission procedures.
Tuition fees, scholarships, and promotional offers.
Academic intakes, schedules, and delivery arrangements.
Campus facilities and student support services.

Website information is provided for general informational purposes and does not, by itself, constitute a binding offer of admission or enrolment.

Prospective students should confirm relevant details with MIBD's Admissions Team before making an enrolment or payment decision.

Where published information differs from the terms of an applicant's formal offer letter, the accepted offer letter and applicable enrolment documents will govern the student's agreed arrangements, subject to applicable law.

Changes to Website information do not automatically alter contractual terms already agreed with enrolled students.

3. Admissions, Fees and Scholarships

3.1 Admissions

Submitting an enquiry or application through the Website does not guarantee admission to MIBD.

Admission is subject to the applicant meeting applicable academic, language, documentation, eligibility, and other enrolment requirements.

MIBD reserves the right to assess applications in accordance with its published admissions policies and applicable regulations.

An admission offer becomes effective in accordance with the terms specified in the offer letter and the required enrolment process.

3.2 Tuition Fees

Tuition fees and related charges displayed on the Website are provided to help prospective students understand the expected cost of studying at MIBD.

The applicable tuition fee, approved discounts, payment arrangements, and other financial conditions will be confirmed in the student's formal offer letter or applicable enrolment agreement.

Students should review these documents carefully before accepting an offer or making a payment.

Any applicable refund or cancellation rights will be governed by the student's enrolment documents, relevant institutional policies, and applicable law.

3.3 Scholarships and Financial Assistance

Scholarships, tuition discounts, and financial assistance opportunities advertised on the Website are subject to eligibility criteria, availability, assessment, and approval by MIBD.

Meeting general eligibility criteria does not automatically guarantee a scholarship or discount.

MIBD may revise, suspend, or withdraw scholarship opportunities or promotional offers for future applicants, subject to applicable law. Such changes will not automatically affect financial assistance already confirmed in an accepted offer letter.

The final scholarship amount and applicable conditions will be communicated through the applicant's formal offer.

3.4 Third-Party Payment Services

Where MIBD provides access to third-party payment or instalment services, such as Tabby, the availability and use of those services may be subject to the provider's separate eligibility requirements, terms, and privacy practices.

Approval for a third-party payment arrangement is not guaranteed by MIBD.

4. Qualifications, Recognition and Career Outcomes

MIBD offers diploma programmes leading to qualifications awarded by OTHM, a UK awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual.

The regulatory status of OTHM and its qualifications should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every institution, employer, professional body, or government authority will accept a particular qualification.

Recognition, equivalency, credit transfer, and progression requirements may vary between countries, universities, professional bodies, and other organisations.

Where the Website refers to degree pathways, university progression, professional opportunities, internships, or career support, such information describes potential opportunities rather than guaranteed outcomes.

In particular, MIBD does not guarantee:

Admission to a university or degree programme.
Recognition or equivalency of a qualification by a particular authority.
Approval of a student visa, residence permit, or other immigration application.
Employment, internships, job placement, or a particular salary.
Acceptance of a qualification for professional licensing or registration.

Admission, immigration, employment, and qualification-recognition decisions are made by the relevant independent institutions and authorities.

Prospective students are encouraged to verify the requirements of their intended university, employer, professional body, or recognition authority before enrolling.
