  THE INSTITUTE - PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT












 

Professional Development

 

The demand for good educated and well-trained personnel is a hugely important issue for all businesses Even the injection of sufficient capital cannot ensure the success of a financial organisation if there is not an adequate supply of capable trained and committed people.

 

Skill-based education and practical training are fundamental to employee long-term development and self-empowerment, raising and maintaining competence and professionalism in today’s increasingly complex and regulated markets.  The potential demand for Shariah-compliant products and services from a large world population has created incredible business opportunities for all financial institutions

 

The Institute’s professional development programme will include comprehensive courses and practical training on the Islamic modes that govern business, trade and finance, as well as insurance.  With a track record of over 15 years and, using its location in London to easily access world-class education, training and research facilities in the West, the Institute will promote  certificate-level qualifications, in consultation with Islamic financial institutions and other organisations as well as with an “international panel” of Shariah Scholars. By earning such qualifications in one or more than one of the subject areas, students will be able to enhance their career prospects in the Islamic financial services sector.

 

All the learning courses will be by distance-learning. The courses are designed to provide continuing education by distance-learning relating to Islamic banking and insurance for beginners as well as graduates and those with a reasonable level of previous working experience. The distance-learning method was chosen to enable the maximum number of students from all parts of the world to benefit from the course at a comparatively lower cost.  Students can study at their own pace and in their own home. The courses are demanding but there is no reason why students should not been able to complete their studies successfully in a reasonable time, as long as they do all the course assignments. Students will be required submit their assignments in English to encourage them to build on their English business vocabulary. With specially appointed tutors, specific course materials and the added advantage of being able to study from home, distance-learning courses are among the most successful, pro-active and beneficial services the Institute provides

 

All training will be capable of being delivered through practical-based workshops in the various fields of Islamic banking and insurance by the Institute’s trainers with commercial experience and support services at various locations

 

The future could see the Institute’s learning courses and training programmes being distributed on an interactive e-learning platform with video lectures and real-time communication allowing contact between students and tutors as well as experts in different jurisdictions
