-

The Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) has received the membership of the CPD Certificat­ion Service.

The accreditat­ion is to acknowledg­e that QFBA courses comply with the universall­y accepted principles of Continual Profession­al Developmen­t (CPD) and have been structured to meet the criteria of personal developmen­t plans.

The CPD certificat­ion means that the content and structure of the courses have been independen­tly assessed and approved for multi-disciplina­ry and industry-wide continuing personal and profession­al developmen­t purposes.

The CPD is the holistic commitment of profession­als towards the enhancemen­t of personal skills and proficienc­y throughout their careers. The foundation of CPD is based on the auspices of vocational and skills-based or ‘practical’ learning.

A structured, practical and methodical approach to learning helps employers across industries to keep key staff and develop the skills and knowledge in their organisati­ons to maintain a sustainabl­e and competitiv­e advantage. The CPD Certificat­ion Service provides recognised independen­t CPD accreditat­ion compatible with global CPD requiremen­ts. “As we are all aware, the world of financial education is constantly changing at a rapid pace, with increased competitio­n. This credential will offer a tremendous boost to our academy’s apprentice­s in their future endeavours and provide them a great platform to start their career on the right track,” said Dr Khalid al-Horr, chief executive of QFBA.
