What’s in it for me?
FGA offers Specialisation Programs under a range of topics which you can use to elevate yourself as a professional dedicated to continuous growth.
Use these as a professional refresher to enhance your knowledge, or talk to us about how we can help you embed these programs to your organisation’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) structure.
Inspiration, Information, Insights, Instructions, Intellect – whatever it is that you are looking for in a specialisation program, we have just the right topics and a star cast of academicians, veteran practitioners and the technology to deliver, be it virtual, physical or hybrid.
Here’s the ‘Big Picture’
Only 20% of the market potential is being tapped, 80% is untapped.
By branding Islamic finance for people of all faiths & beliefs and clearly demonstrating the convergence of ESG (Environmental and Social Governance) and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) with Islamic finance, we too can be a part of the explosive growth that Islamic Banking and Finance is about to go through.
Covid19 pandemic brought about multiple crises – humanity is seeking solutions for burning issues and Islamic finance can be a catalyst to provide much needed solutions to humanity.
Are you ready to be one in a million bringing the tried, tested and proven principles of Islamic finance for all of humanity to benefit from?

Are there any group projects where I will have to interact with other students?
Not for this IFQ Program. But if you are one of the students following the Dual Qualifications Program, then you have to do projects on your own and submit. All details of the project will be shard under that program.
How do I interact with the lecturer?
Most of the interaction will happen on and during the weekly webinars, our lectures are very interactive and you will often find yourself participating in question and answer sessions and we give plenty of opportunity to our students during the sessions to ask any and all questions they have and clear up any confusion they might have before moving on.
Can I share the login details with my friends?
This is unfortunately not possible as the e-learning standards we adhere to require one account per student to track progress and maintain educational integrity.
What are the hardware/software requirements for me to attend the virtual sessions?
A stable internet connection with a mic and webcam will be needed. You will need Zoom to access the weekly webinars.
