we are in the process of market researching the training material in
the middle east.  we did not begin any secondary research for that
matter, however, no much secondary data is found when i did it
previously for the training market two years ago.  through our
research we want to establish:

1.  what are the forms of training generally as classified by
international standards (e.g. management training, technical training,
educational/teachers training, sales/marketing, motivational, finance
... etc)
2.  what is the overall market size and spending on training in the
middle east (preferablly breaked down by country and benchmarked to
international standards)
3.  who are the main players in the market 
5.  what is the common form of training material most attractive to
comapnies (books, cd roms, online ... etc)
5.  what are the benchmarked pricing for all forms of training materials

can you provide us with the source of those information and/or any
other relevent info that you come across

thanks

Dear Jelfar, 

Your question is about to expire without having been answered, and you
might be disappointed. 

One possible reason is that you've asked five different questions in
one posting. If a researcher does not find one component of the answer
(or figures that the amount you're willing to pay for an answer does
not justify the effort in looking for one of those sub-questions),
your question might remain unanswered. If I may, I suggest that you'll
repost the questions separately (if you're still interested in an
answer).

we are  in the middle east  

you can send me e-mail  to  ali@arabialearningsystems.com

regards,
ali
