Three named instructors teach AI video production in Dubai as of September 2026: Israa, founder of the agency NotBoring, teaching its in-person workshop on Higgsfield; Sari Elrayes, teaching TeachMeCode's 27-hour course on Veo 3 and Google Flow; and Ansh Mehra, who taught Dubai Future Academy's two-day AI tools course. Everything else published in Dubai is a general AI course or online only.
Why the instructor matters more than the syllabus
AI video is a craft where the tool changes monthly and the judgement does not. A syllabus tells you which buttons a course covers; the instructor decides whether you learn why a shot failed. The useful question is whether the person teaching produces video for paying clients now, on the platform they teach.
That is also why this guide names people. Course pages in Dubai often describe "industry experts" without a name, a client or a piece of work you can watch. Where a provider names its instructor and their work, it is stated below. Where it does not, that is stated too. NotBoring publishes this guide and runs one of the courses, which is declared where it appears.
Israa, NotBoring: in-person, on Higgsfield
Israa is the founder and creative director of NotBoring, a Dubai creative production agency, and she teaches every session of its AI Video Production Workshop herself (source: NotBoring). She graduated in marketing and spent several years as a creative director for agencies serving E&, Tadawi, Daytoday and Peppers before founding NotBoring in 2025.
The agency makes cinematic and AI-generated video for brands across the GCC and has grown to more than a dozen clients, including Maestro Pizza and the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (source: NotBoring). The workshop teaches the same workflow the agency uses on those productions, built on Higgsfield, which hosts Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Sora 2 and Wan 2.7 in one workspace (source: Higgsfield).
The course is in person in Dubai, 13 topics over 12 hours, AED 1,500, with a Higgsfield account included, a certificate, a student toolkit and a finished 30 to 60 second video as the final project (source: NotBoring). Cohorts run regularly and dates are confirmed on booking. This is a small-group course on one platform; it is not a survey of the field.
Sari Elrayes, TeachMeCode: on site, on Veo 3 and Flow
TeachMeCode names Sari Elrayes as the instructor of its AI video creation and graphic animations course, describing him as a Social Media Content Specialist and Instructor (source: TeachMeCode). The course runs 27 hours across nine three-hour sessions, on site in Dubai or live online, and costs AED 1,999.
It teaches Google Flow, Veo 3, ChatGPT and Gemini, with modules on scriptwriting, camera language, composition and lighting, voice and narration, sound design and prompting, and ends with a first cinematic project (source: TeachMeCode). Graduates receive a KHDA government certificate recognised across Dubai and the UAE.
This is the most contact hours of any instructor-led AI video course published in Dubai, and the certificate is the one formal credential in this list. The platform is Google's, so it suits someone committed to Veo rather than a multi-model workspace. The page does not publish class size.
Ansh Mehra, Dubai Future Academy: two days, broad survey
Dubai Future Academy's AI Tools for Text, Images & Videos course lists Ansh Mehra, Founder and CEO of Product Vision, as instructor, and says he has taught more than 10,000 students worldwide (source: Dubai Future Foundation). The course ran two full days, 9am to 4pm, at AED 3,800 per participant.
It covers ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Midjourney, RunwayML, Luma Labs, DALL-E 3 and Perplexity, and is aimed at professionals and entrepreneurs (source: Dubai Future Foundation). Video is one strand among text and image tools rather than the whole course, and the page mentions no certificate and no finished video deliverable.
The Dubai Future Foundation name carries weight, and the breadth suits a manager who wants to see the whole toolset in two days. It is the most expensive option here per hour, and the published listing is dated, so check the current schedule with the Academy before planning around it.
Hack'celeration: certified trainers, online only
Hack'celeration does not name its trainers. It says they are certified by the company and produce Higgsfield video for clients weekly, and it matches you to one based on your level and project (source: Hack'celeration). Training is one to one, 100 percent online over video, inside your own Higgsfield account, with recordings provided.
There is no fixed price; the rate depends on the trainer's profile and format (source: Hack'celeration). It appears in Dubai search results and is worth knowing about, but it is neither in Dubai nor in person, and you cannot see who you will be taught by before you are matched.
Institutes that teach AI, not AI video
Several Dubai institutes appear in searches for AI video training but publish no video generation course. DG Training Institute names A. Salama, with over five years in analytics and AI and more than 100 projects, for its KHDA-approved AI course, which covers generative AI for content and graphics but lists no video course (source: DG Training Institute).
Zabeel Institute's AI Prompt Engineering course covers ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, DALL-E and Gemini for text and image prompting, with no video generation listed and no published instructor (source: Zabeel Institute). Learners Point's 3.5-month AI and Machine Learning programme is Python and TensorFlow, not generative video (source: Learners Point). VJAL Institute lists global faculty and a Dubai leadership workshop but no video course (source: VJAL Institute).
These are legitimate courses for their subjects. They are listed so that a search for an AI video instructor in Dubai does not end at one of them by mistake.
What to check about any instructor before paying
Ask five things and expect direct answers: what they produced for paying clients in the last six months, and whether you can watch it; which shots in that work were generated, on which platform; whether they will look at your output or only present; whether the platform they teach is the one you will use after; and what you leave with.
On those five, the Dubai options separate clearly. NotBoring's instructor runs the agency whose client work is on its site and reviews every participant's project in person. TeachMeCode names its instructor and ends with a project, on Veo. Dubai Future Academy names a well-followed instructor for a broad survey with no deliverable. Hack'celeration certifies trainers you meet only after matching.
