QFBA launches new range of courses and certifications for March

Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) in cooperation with international partners and professional trainers has announced the launch of a revamped range of international courses and certifications scheduled to begin at the start of March.

These certifications and courses include AGI (award in general insurance) by the Chartered Insurance Institute, courses for the ACI dealing certificate by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, a course in Corporate credit risk analysis as well as a course in Financial modeling using spreadsheets.

Since its establishment in 2009, QFBA has been playing a key role in responding to the urgent market need to harmonize the training qualifications on one hand, and the changing requirements of the job market on the other. The academy believes in its role of development and empowerment of human capital with the assistance of the institutions and awarding bodies operating in the State of Qatar and the region. QFBA aims to help talented youth stay on top of the changes within the market, as well as promoting innovation and creating new opportunities in the market’s vast sectors, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Based on the vast experience QFBA has acquired in the past years and upon consultation with expert authorities in the related fields, QFBA has designed and developed these certificates and programs. This makes these courses and certificates more responsive to the requirements of the job market and more suited to the needs of employees in the financial sector in particular.

These programs will utilize the best training methods focusing on interactive learning, and using technological media and modern methods, as well as practical application to the existing market and its challenges.

Currently, QFBA is focusing on five key areas of excellence, including Qatar Public Finance, Islamic finance, competency framework development via Kafa’a, customer service, and innovative training and development solutions. The Academy has recently partnered with Adnar Group for the establishment of the first edition of the "Global Management Challenge" competition, based on the ​​simulation concept as well as a broad bundle of training modules and tools built on strategic thinking.
