RAKEZ activity register
Educational licence activities in RAKEZ
The short answer
Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) files 71 business activities under its Educational classification, out of 3618 activities on its register as captured on 25 August 2026. Each activity is a named register entry, and a licence is built from the specific entries that match what the business actually does. This page explains the family and what changes the answer; the exact entries for your business, the combination they form, and the current costs come from an adviser-reviewed activity check.
This page explains one licence family on the RAKEZ register: what the authority groups under Educational, what that kind of licence is structured for, and the facts that decide whether it fits. It is a directory of the authority's own classification, not a ranking and not a promotion.
Activities are shown by name, which is how you will recognise your own work in them. The authority's activity codes are not published here — the code is the filing reference, and which codes your business needs, in what combination, is the output of the activity check rather than something to copy off a page.
Use this to work out whether the work you actually do has a home in this family — and read the zone's full profile for how RAKEZ operates, who it suits, and who it does not.
What the Educational classification covers
Activities in this family describe teaching, training, and education support: institutes, tutoring, e-learning platforms, examination services, and educational consultancy.
Education is a supervised field. Several entries in this family exist alongside approval requirements from education authorities, and the register entry is the starting point of that conversation rather than the end of it.
What a educational licence here is structured for
A licence built from this family suits a training business, an education provider, or a learning-platform operator whose product is instruction or education support.
Where the offering reaches into formal education — schools, colleges, accredited programmes — the sector regulator's requirements arrive alongside the licence and should be scoped first.

What this page does not decide
Decision factors
What changes the answer
Two businesses that describe themselves the same way in a sentence can need different entries, different approvals, and a different jurisdiction altogether. These are the facts that move the answer for a educational licence — worth settling before you apply, whoever you apply through.
- Whether the offering is informal training, professional certification, or formal accredited education.
- Which education authority has a say — the emirate's, the federal ministry, or a free-zone education regulator.
- Whether teaching happens in person, and therefore needs approved premises, or only online.
- Whether instructors need approved qualifications or their own individual permits.
- Whether learners are children, which brings safeguarding and additional approval requirements.
- What your certificates claim, because the claim decides who has to approve the programme.
Where this family is a strong fit
- Your revenue comes from teaching, training, or education services.
- You know whether your offering is informal training or regulated formal education.
- You have identified any education-authority approval before the licence application.
Where it is the wrong family
- You are running accredited formal schooling and treating the licence as the approval for it.
- The product is really a software platform or a content library, and teaching is not what you invoice for.
- You expect to enrol learners on the licence date, with the education authority's decision still outstanding.
- You intend to award certificates that imply an accreditation nobody has granted yet.
About this listing
Questions
Frequently asked
- How many Educational activities does RAKEZ have?
- As captured on 25 August 2026, the RAKEZ register files 71 activities under its Educational classification, out of 3618 activities on the register in total. Registers are living documents, so the current count is always the authority's.
- Is my activity covered if it is not in the sample list?
- Possibly — this page shows a sample, not the full register. An adviser checks your specific activity against the authority's live list, which is the only check that counts, and also confirms whether it needs any external regulator's approval.
- Why are the activity codes not shown?
- Because a code is a filing reference, not an explanation. The name tells you whether the register has a home for your work, which is what this page is for. The code only becomes useful once someone has checked your actual business against the authority's live list, decided which entries apply and which combination they may sit in, and confirmed any external approval — and that is the assessment, not a directory listing. Publishing a code without that check is how businesses end up licensed for something adjacent to what they do.
- Can one licence at RAKEZ carry several of these activities?
- How many activities a licence carries, and whether families can be combined, is set by the authority's own packaging rules, which change. We confirm the current position in writing with the authority for your specific activity set rather than publishing rules that may be out of date.
- What does a educational licence at RAKEZ cost?
- The authority sets and quotes the fees, and packages and promotions change. Current figures are confirmed within your adviser-reviewed route comparison, checked with the authority for your exact activity set, visa requirement, and workspace before you commit.
Check where this activity can be licensed
Tell us what the business actually does, who it sells to, and who it needs to sponsor. An adviser checks it against the authorities' live lists, confirms the exact register entries and combination that cover it, flags any external approval, and tells you whether another jurisdiction describes it better — with the current material costs for the routes worth comparing.
This page is general information about UAE business setup, not legal, tax, immigration, or banking advice. Rules, fees, permitted activities, and bank policies can change. Final eligibility depends on your facts and the applicable rules at the time of application.
