In order to comply with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) regulations, all pupils must submit a Transfer Certificate (TC) from their current school. This must be submitted prior to the first day of attendance. The TC can be submitted in English or Arabic. The TC needs to be completed on the school’s official letterhead paper, signed by the school Principal and stamped. The certificate must be an original – photocopies will not be accepted. Please refer to the below table for clarification on the required attestation from your home country. If you have any questions, please contact the school's Admissions Office on 800 277748 (from within the UAE), +971 (0) 4 387 1116 (from outside the UAE), or email admissions@brightoncollegedubai.ae.
