A PRIVATE training institute’s licence has been revoked after an inspection revealed that the institute does not have a headquarters or a physical location.
Its licence has also not been renewed since June.
The government decision posted in the Official Gazette was signed by Labour Minister Jameel Humaidan, and comes into effect today.
After the inspection visit in July, the Saudi-owned institute located in Abu Saiba was issued a final warning which was reportedly not heeded.
According to Commercial Registration records, the institute founded in 2020 was licensed for ‘management and business training’. Its CR expired in April, and the status reads ‘deleted by law’.
“The establishment is liable for all legal and financial consequences which the execution of the decision results in,” read the Official Gazette.
Another Labour Ministry decision in yesterday’s Official Gazette issue granted a new licence to a vocational training centre in Salmabad.
The private institute is allowed to practise ‘technical and vocational training’ as per CR records.
Meanwhile, an amendment was introduced to building codes allowing private architectural and engineering firms to inspect buildings.
The amendment was made to the Law on the Constructional Organisation of Buildings of 1977, signed by Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture minister Wael Al Mubarak.
A second amendment to the building law, also signed by Mr Al Mubarak, assigns liability to the aforementioned firms if any violation is detected.
If a violation is proven, the firm will first be issued a warning, then will be ordered to stop operations, and finally its licence will be revoked.
“If the violation amounts to criminal offence, the Public Prosecution must be informed,” said the decision.
