7 Reasons Why Bankers Prefer the CIFE™

1. The Highest Accreditation Standard
   Available Online

   
   The CIFE™ is rigorously tested by a team of bankers and scholars who check that the training, quizzes, and certification conforms with AAOIFI, the leading industry standard in Islamic finance. While other certificates claim "Shariah-compliance," we explicitly abide by a known Shariah standard anyone can check against. And because we are a Dubai registered company, we have to ensure that we comply with international standards of quality and customer service.

2. Up-To-Date Certification

   Can you really be sure that your 3-year old workbook or last year's CD is up-to-date? With the CIFE™, when Islamic finance innovates, our online content innovates right there with it. So you can be sure that you're never left behind.

3. More Training Than Anyone,
   Growing Every Week

   At launch we had 20 modules. Today we have 35. And by next year we will have over 100, God willing. We've already been called the "Amazon of Islamic Finance."

4. Beyond Workbooks, CDs, and Crash Courses:
   Interactive and Engaging

   Do workbooks work? Are crash courses rushed? Do conferences bore you? No more. Designed to suit your pace, the CIFE™ runs on an interactive learning platform, filled with guided quizzes, exercises, and how-to explanations, overcoming the monotony of traditional self-study programs.

5. Cutting Edge Training,
   Not Distance Learning

   The beauty of the Internet is that you get new training material all the time. So you don't have to wait around for next year's workbook. You never pay more for new material because once you subscribe, you get access to everything.

6. Practical Training from Bankers,
   Not MBA Theory from Professors

   Degree programs are taught by professors, not bankers. So most of what you learn is theory, not practical tools. And the people who hire you know this too. The CIFE™ is based on the most practical Islamic finance training on the market. Find out for yourself. Try it before you buy it for free. Bankers simply love the training.

7. Convenient

   There are no study guides or CDs to juggle. Everything you need to take the CIFE™ is streamed directly to your computer, 24 hours a day.

"But My Manager Says..."

Do IslamicAdvisory's Shariah standards conflict with our bank's Shariah standards?

We designed our training material to be detailed enough to be practical, and general enough to be useful to individual banks that have their own policies and practices. We follow internationally recognized standards already followed by the majority of the industry and we customize and white-label for banks seeking to develop more of their own material.

Does IslamicAdvisory's training cannibalize HR functions? If everything is done on computers, what happens to internal trainers?

Internal trainers are indispensable to IslamicAdvisory: conduct bank-wide, CIFE™ training on IslamicAdvisory; then deliver blended, high-level training face-to-face with HR and training professionals. Without internal trainers, "blended" training never happens. With IslamicAdvisory, HR and training managers become even more important.

Won't we save money by developing our own training?

Knowledge process outsourcing, or KPO, is one of the fastest growing sectors of the banking industry because it saves banks money. At IslamicAdvisory, training 500 staff costs less than $17 per trainee per month; and training 1,000 staff costs only around $12 per trainee per month. A small fraction of the time, money, and opportunity cost associated with diverting funds and distracting staff with internal training.
