Doha: Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), in cooperation with international partners and professional trainers, has launched revamped range international courses and certifications to begin at the start of next month.
They 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 and another in Financial modelling using spreadsheets.
Since its establishment in 2009, QFBA has been playing a key role in responding to the urgent market need to harmonise training qualifications and the changing requirements of the job market. It believes in its role of development and empowerment of human capital with the assistance of institutions and awarding entities in Qatar and the region. 
QFBA aims to help talented youth stay on top of the changes within the market, promote innovation and create opportunities in the market’s vast sectors in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
Based on vast experience QFBA has acquired in the past years and upon consultation with experts in the related fields, QFBA has designed and developed these certificates and programmes — which are more responsive to the requirements of the job market and more suited to the needs of employees in the financial sector, in particular.
These programmes will utilise the best training methods focusing on interactive learning and using technological media and modern methods, and practical application to the existing market and its challenges.
QFBA is focusing on five key areas of excellence: Qatar public finance; Islamic finance; competency framework development via Kafa’a; customer service; and innovative training and development solutions. 
It has recently partnered with Adnar Group for the establishment of the first edition of the ‘Global Management Challenge’ competition, based on the simulation concept and a broad bundle of training modules and tools built on strategic thinking.
