bankers and scholars who check that the material conforms with AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), the leading industry standard in Islamic finance.
How Do I Become A Certified Islamic Finance Executive™ (CIFE™)?
Understand the material covered in the 18 modules of “Understanding Islamic Finance”
(http://www.islamicadvisory.com/Trainingmodules.aspx), and score higher than 60% on the 112 questions in the online exam. If you fail the first time, you get a second chance. If you fail a second time, you pay $195 each time you retake the exam.
Why Is The CIFE™ My Best Choice?
Are you learning Islamic banking from an Islamic banker or a professor? We take you beyond introductory theory and show you how Islamic finance gets done in the real world. Next time you sit with your interviewer, boss, or customer, show them you’re on top of your Islamic finance.
