Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) have announced a partnership, which will see the CII’s qualifications incorporated into the learning and attainment pathways of EIBFS’ students.

Under the partnership agreement, the full gamut of the professional body’s qualifications will become available for students representing organisations that collaborate with the EIBFS. These range from the basic introduction to Insurance and Financial Planning, through to Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Fellowship of the CII.

Gaenor Jones, Regional Director of the CII, 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." Jamal Al Jassmi, General Manager at EIBFS, said, "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."
