To boost education within insurance and financial planning sectors across the Middle East

|

The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) have teamed up to incorporate the UK institute’s qualifications into the learning and pathways offered by the EIBFS.

The full range of CII’s qualifications will be made available to students representing organisations that collaborate with EIBFS. They include the basic introduction to insurance and financial planning all the way through to certificate, diploma, advanced diploma and fellowship of the CII.

Gaenor Jones, regional director of the CII in the Middle East, said: “We are delighted that the EIBFS has chosen to work so closely with the CII in order to benefit its students’ career pathways and personal development journeys.

“CII qualifications are the ultimate endorsement that an individual has achieved internationally recognised accreditation by a body that adheres to a strict code of ethics and professional standards, as well enabling that individual to demonstrate a high level of technical competence and market knowledge.

“We are very much looking forward to cementing our relationship with EIBFS and making a positive contribution to the development of insurance and financial planning talent across the UAE.”

Jamal Al Jassmi, general manager at EIBFS, added: “Our partnership with the CII is a significant boost to our overall proposition to the financial and banking industries here in the UAE. It’s very positive news for both individuals and corporate organisations working in these sectors because employers and students will be secure in the knowledge that their learning and qualifications are being provided by the most reputable and trusted professional body in the world.

“Our collaboration with the CII is a key indicator of the EIBFS’ commitment to global best practice and our dedication to developing a skilled, competent and competitive workforce.”
