1. The Training Institute must ensure that all enrolled trainees have completed their training programmes or have been transferred to suitable alternatives approved by KHDA before submitting a request for this service
2. Ensure the rights and entitlements of the institute's technical and administrative staff have been settled.
3. Clear any remaining fines or fees owed by the institute.
4. Upon cancellation or non-renewal of the Educational Services Permit, KHDA will liaise with the licensing authority to remove the training activity from the commercial licence.

• Step 1: Submit the cancellation request via KHDA e-services portal.
• Step 2: KHDA reviews the application and verifies that the institute has acknowledged and complied with closure requirements, including fulfilling all obligations towards KHDA, settling staff entitlements, and ensuring arrangements are in place to settle all student-related commitments. Once confirmed, the institute is informed of the final decision.
• Step 3: Upon request, KHDA issues a No Objection Certificate to the Licensing Authority, valid for 30 days, and the institute’s Educational Services Permit is cancelled in the KHDA system.
