BIBF named best education service provider

MANAMA, November 23, 2014

Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) was named Educational Service Provider of the Year at the Gala Awards Presentation Night of the inaugural Middle East Insurance Awards in Dubai as part of the Middle East Insurance Review.

More than 200 entries competed for the award, which was created to promote excellence in the insurance sector, reported the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.

BIBF director Solveig Nicklos and head of the centre for insurance Husain Al Ajmi were present at the ceremony, which was attended by the judging panel, award participants, and executives from the regional insurance industry.

Nicklos said the award affirmed the quality and exceptional performance of the institute, particularly in the field of insurance, at the regional level.

"As a thought leader in the field of education, BIBF has led industrial innovation across multiple business sectors. We continue to create specialised programmes to help our students stay abreast of developing markets, and strategically partnered with the world's best to serve the labour market and meet the training needs of a growing financial sector.

"We have also helped a number of international entities establish a solid base in the region," she said.

BIBF has consistently sought to cater to the region's needs, providing internationally-recognised, quality professional insurance education.

It remains the only institute in the world to offer the globally-accredited Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute Designation Qualification entirely in the Arabic language.

The programme was created by BIBF in the early 2000s, in association with the Chartered Insurance Institute, in response to the growing need for qualified individuals in the regional insurance industry.

The award is the first of its kind in the region, and includes 15 categories.

The winner from each category was selected by a panel comprised of education industry leaders, heads of international organisations and sector regulators. – TradeArabia News Service
