Saida

CIS Saida is the seventh branch of the Group CIS network, officially opened in September 2012 in the city of Saida. Saida was chosen for its significance as the capital and gateway of southern Lebanon. It plays a pivotal role in attracting people throughout the South Governorate, serving as the administrative center and the vital link between the South, Beirut, and the Chouf region. As the historic heir to the Phoenician city of Sidon, Saida is also a beacon of knowledge and learning.

 

Based on these factors, Dr. Abdelkader Makdash, the founder of Group CIS Institutes, selected Saida as the location to establish the seventh branch, aiming to provide outstanding educational services to students in the area.

 

Since its launch, the institute has attracted over 120 students, and this number steadily grew to reach 235 enrolled in official specializations during the 2016-2017 academic year. This success is attributed to the institute’s strong reputation and excellent results in official exams, where many students secured top ranks across Lebanon. Such achievements were made possible through continuous student support and dedicated academic and social care.

 

Moreover, the institute has become a distinguished training center, attracting the attention of numerous non-governmental and humanitarian organizations that recognize it as the best center in terms of high-quality education. The diverse range of specializations offered includes women's and men's beauty courses, computer-aided engineering drawing, languages, accounting, travel ticketing and sales, computer languages, mobile phone maintenance, and hotel arts.
