Incisive Training provides public training, in-house training and e-Learning solutions for the vast range of markets Incisive Media’s brands and publications serve on a global scale. This course was developed with one of Incisive Media's key brands, Central Banking Publications.
The Banking Supervision Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) contacted Incisive Training to request the delivery of a two week training course on Islamic finance and banking tailored to meet the needs and requirements of their senior directors.
Working closely with the CBN, Incisive Training constructed a comprehensive training schedule and attracted leading tutors to deliver the course in Lagos.
The delivery of the course marks a landmark for Incisive Training as it looks to extend its training solutions beyond the jurisdictions currently served, as Head of Training Paul Fegan explained: “We already deliver topical training courses through our annual event for central banks at Windsor and Cambridge. This opportunity arose because two delegates wanted to take this format and deliver it exclusively for their own staff. We were able to structure a programme which met their exact requirements and deliver this at a convenient time and place”.
Speaking after the course, Job A Olorunshola, Head of the CBN Learning Centre in Lagos, said he was impressed with the quality of the course and hoped the working relationship between the CBN and Incisive Training would develop: “The course has exposed the participants to the basics of Islamic Finance and the related concepts, including the characteristics of associated products. The knowledge afforded by the programme has also stimulated participants’ inquisitiveness on exploring ways to overcoming potential regulatory challenges this new mode of financing might unleash on the Nigerian financial system. The Centre will, therefore, ensure that the momentum is sustained by incorporating this course into its future learning events so as to enhance the capacity of bank examiners for holistic oversight and regulatory functions".
