Doha: The 2013 Program Launch Event was held last evening by the Qatar Finance and Business Academy at the Hilton Hotel in Doha.
The launch presented Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), the only Qatari business training institute, with the unique opportunity to launch their 2013 Program, reposition QFBA with its 3 strategic roles to distinguished guests and the media as well as highlight the role QFBA plays in building human capital for the financial sector in line with Qatar’s 2030 vision.
Throughout the event QFBA also introduced their new team structure to those in attendance. QFBA is an all encompassing training provider, certificate regime developer and examination administrator. The training institute is working towards upgrading the quality of the financial sector talent base in Qatar by providing a high quality learning experience to professionals. With a wider focus, QFBA also helps organisations and professionals identify what their learning and business objectives are as they work collectively to achieve them.
Ahead of the event, Dr Abdulaziz Al Horr, the CEO of QFBA, said: “It is satisfying to know that we are here to help build Qatar’s human capital and that our efforts have proven great success in little time. With a mission to train and develop the financial services sector and build professional capacity, we are proud to be contributing in developing a modern and knowledge-based economy, in line with Qatar’s 2030 vision.”
QFBA does this by combining its national origin with international experts, allowing it to continue to work towards its vision to become the national leader and partner of choice for finance and business education in Qatar.
Dr Al Horr said: “Not only have we set such standards, but we ensure that organisations and professionals, operating locally, meet those criteria and achieve their development and business objectives by providing executive training via tie-ups with international delivery partners.”
The 2013 QFBA Program has now been expanded to include several programmes such as insurance, Islamic and non Islamic finance, rules and regulations, compliance and anti money laundering, as well as soft and basic skills. QFBA grew out of a need for a localized institution to meet the needs of a local population, and QFBA has done this by investing in the country’s talent people in both the short term and the long term.
