Manama, 28 April 2015

As part of its efforts to provide Bahrainis with the skills and qualifications needed to develop their careers, Tamkeen, in cooperation with the Bahrain Bar Society (BBS), launched an Engineering Arbitration certification specialized in settling real estate and property disputes.

The new certificate is part of Tamkeen's Professional Certification Scheme, which provides Bahrainis with the opportunity to obtain internationally accredited certificates. Under this scheme, Tamkeen pays 100% of the cost of registration for a professional certificate upon the successful completion of the course and attainment of the certificate.

Commenting on the launch of the new certification, Ms. Amal Al-Kooheji, Vice President for Human Capital Development at Tamkeen said: "With labour market requirements continuously changing, it is necessary to provide skilled professionals that can cope with such changes. This includes the law profession; where there is an urgent need to close certain skill gaps. Tamkeen is therefore pleased to cooperate with the Bahrain Bar Society to include this prestigious engineering arbitration certificate in its professional certification scheme in order to provide Bahraini law professionals with the opportunity to fast-track their careers."
