Professional Certificates Reimbursement

The Human Resources Development Fund's Professional Certificates Reimbursement program supports Saudi nationals who pay for approved credentials aligned with labour market demand. It sits inside HRDF's wider workforce-support portfolio and is built around individual reimbursement rather than employer funding. Approved awards run from SAR 950 for Nokia 5G certificates to SAR 35,000 for Dental Implant, with reimbursement submitted through the Taqat national portal alongside certificate copies and invoices. The program limits each person to two certificates, only covers certificates earned after approval and within six months of issue, and excludes membership fees. Payment arrives by bank transfer within 20 to 40 business days. The strongest fit is a Saudi national with an approved professional qualification that employers did not already pay for. Because the program is rolling, the practical test is simple compliance: the certificate must be on the approved list, the application must be complete, and the expense must fall inside the allowed timing window.
