Qualifying and training new drivers in Dubai is now conducted through the Tadreeb digital platform, which serves more than 250,000 trainees annually, as announced by the Roads and Transport Authority on Tuesday.
The digital platform connects all driving institutes across Dubai, fully digitizes training and qualification processes, automates assessments, and consolidates all trainee-related data.
“The platform utilizes the latest artificial intelligence technologies to qualify and train drivers across more than 27 training institute locations, supported by over 3,400 instructors and more than 3,000 training vehicles,” noted Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of RTA’s Licensing Agency.

He added: “Each vehicle’s route is electronically geo-tracked and linked to the main system. Serving around 250,000 trainees annually with over six million hours of training per year, the platform has operated safely since its inception, offering a seamless, fully paperless user experience.”
How it works
According to RTA, Tadreeb identifies the needs of trainees based on analyzed data and figures, ensuring quality training for drivers and licensing a pool of skilled, professional drivers.
Among its key outcomes are improved training quality, enhanced transparency and precision in trainee assessments, and measurable contributions to reducing fatalities among new drivers.
The platform also supports decision-making through smart dashboards that monitor training indicators, ensure full automation of performance evaluation criteria and transactions, and streamlines services for training permits and contracts through integration with relevant issuing authorities.
“This integration has halved waiting times for permits, reduced operating costs, enhanced remote monitoring through the Smart Licensing Centre, and achieved 97 percent compliance by trainers with prescribed training stages,” RTA noted.
