Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) has hired Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance to deliver its online Islamic finance training certificate (CIFE) to its senior leaders and their deputies.

Hiring Ethica brings ADIB year-round, 100% online Islamic finance training and certification in Egypt as well as a back-end dashboard allowing managers to monitor learner progress each week.

Mohamed Abbas, head of training at ADIB Egypt said, "After looking at all our options, Ethica came away as the clear choice for bank-wide Islamic finance training.

"They had already won us over with their cost advantage; what secured their place as our top choice was the superb quality of their online training and certification."

Ethica’s spokesperson said, "Banks are slowly coming to the realization that three day crash courses are expensive and ineffective. Banks now realize that learners want self-paced learning, 365 days a year. It saves banks money and teaches bankers how to do their jobs properly."
