Bahrain institute inks training deal with PMI

MANAMA, December 27, 2014

Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) said it has signed an MoU with the Project Management Institute (PMI) – Arabian Gulf Chapter, to serve as the training arm for project management related courses.

The agreement will allow BIBF to be responsible for the delivery of the courses, both locally and within the GCC, in addition to the provision of the learning material, course evaluations, issuance of certificates and statistical reporting.

A Majeed Al Qassab, the president of the PMI expressed his delight at the formalisation of the agreement between the two entities.

“It is a privilege to sign the MoU with BIBF today. Bahrain suffers from a shortage of qualified project managers and I am confident that BIBF along with the PMI will be able to qualify people to meet the growing demand for skilled project managers. BIBF is an entity that we trust as they have the technical capabilities to support this initiative,” stated Al Qassab.

“BIBF is proud to have been appointed as the training arm of the PMI to provide the knowledge, expertise and technical skills required to qualify expert project managers and meet the human capital demands of the banking sectors as well as other sectors in the nation”, said BIBF’s deputy director Dr Ahmed Al Shaikh.

The PMI’s mission in the region is to help organisations and businesses achieve optimum results through applied project management principles, and to support members and organisations’ educational, networking, mentoring and business requirements, he added.

BIBF plays a vital role in the training and development of human capital for the business sector of the Bahrain.

It has more than 300 different courses offered in the field of business which come alongside tailor-made training solutions based on organisational requirements; specialised programmes taught by leading market specialists; and professional qualifications and degree programmes in partnership with accredited international organisations.-TradeArabia News Service
