BIBF to host CFA qualification open house for prospective students

The Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) is preparing to host an open house on its premises in Juffair to showcase the benefits and career options of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification.

The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28.
 
Prospective students can learn about how to enter the prestigious and globally recognized CFA qualification. Experts from the industry will be on hand to tell students about the registration process, as well.
 
“The BIBF has exceeded the global average pass rate in 2016 (43 percent), and we are delighted to continue this success with the launch of part two of the CFA qualification this November,” BIBF Head of Banking and Accounting Deen Jayah said.
 
The CFA qualification consists of three levels: one for basic knowledge of the 10 areas of the field and simple analysis using investment tools, one for complex analysis that stresses valuing assets, and one for combining all methods and conceptions to effectively manage portfolios.
 
BIBF will host level I and level II courses this November.
