It is, they say, designed to produce highly skilled professionals and 'Valued Islamic Bankers' for the fastest growing financial sector. The certification is being offered globally through AIMS regional partners worldwide, including Middle Eastern and African countries.

On the successful completion of the training, AIMS said that participants will be capable of designing, implementing, consulting, operating and administering Riba-free Islamic financial products and services, within their organisations.

This Islamic Banking Certificate is being offered through distance learning, “and facilitated by worlds' most renowned Islamic banking scholars,” it said in a press release.

“Students are given number of assignments; which increase their understanding on the subject, clarify their concepts and help them to achieve better marks in their final examination. Using AIMS' online educational support, students will have a chance to discuss the topics and question from Islamic banking scholars. The average time for the completion of the CIB is three to four months. However, it may not be the same for every student, and depends on their work experience, educational background and personal interest in the subject,” AIMS said.
