International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance (INCEIF) will hold a Students Day today comprising registration, briefing and dialog sessions for the students of its flagship programme, Chartered Islamic Finance Professional (CIFP) and of the newly-introduced PhD in Islamic Finance programme.
This is considered as an important event for everyone as more and more INCEIF’s CIFP students will now proceed with studying the Part 2 of the programme which mostly focusing on preparing the students with essential financial skills so as to enable them to serve as competent Islamic finance professionals to the industry.
There will be 5 core modules under the Part 2 of the CIFP programme which are:
1) Structuring Financing Requirements
2) Issuing and Managing Islamic Securities
3) Shariah Compliance and Audit
