Step into Dubai’s healthcare workforce with a preparation system built around real DHA licensing requirements.

The process begins through the Sheryan portal, where your qualifications, experience, and documents are reviewed. Once approved, you are eligible to take the exam through Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide.
The DHA exam evaluates:
• Clinical nursing knowledge
