NORTON SCHOOL OF LYMPHATIC THERAPY

Dubai

Complete Decongestive Therapy Certification, Coming to Dubai in April 2027

The Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy is bringing its Full CDT Lymphedema Certification Course to Dubai, in partnership with Learnovate. It’s the same 135-hour program we teach across the United States. Norton instructors teach it in English, to the same Norton American standard our graduates around the world rely on.

Lymphedema is one of the most misdiagnosed and undertreated conditions after cancer treatment, and few therapists in the region are trained to treat it. This course prepares clinicians in the UAE and across the Gulf to fill that gap.

Learnovate

Learn. Innovate. Succeed.
Where Ambitious Healthcare Professionals Never Stop Growing.

Every course, certification, and learning experience is designed to help healthcare professionals expand their expertise, strengthen clinical confidence, and create greater impact throughout their careers.

Learnovate was founded on a simple belief:

Professional education should be practical, accessible and capable of transforming careers—not just awarding certificates.

What began as a vision to elevate physiotherapy education has evolved into one of the GCC's trusted professional learning platforms, empowering physiotherapists, medical professionals, fitness specialists, and healthcare organisations through internationally recognised education.

Today, every course, workshop, webinar, and certification reflects the same purpose that inspired our journey from the very beginning: To help healthcare professionals grow with confidence, lead with competence, and create a lasting impact on the lives they serve.

A Growing Community

Recognized locally

90 CME hours approved by DOH, DHA and SHA, so the course counts toward licensing requirements in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.

Globally oriented

Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy certification carries weight far beyond borders. Curriculum is built on the Foeldi Method — the therapeutic approach recognized as the "Gold Standard" for lymphedema treatment by the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) — the same standard taught across our US programs and international partner sites. 

For your career

Graduates join the Norton School therapist directory, which patients and referring physicians use to find certified care. They also stay part of the Norton School alumni community.
