Chairman's Message
The Emirates Institute of Finance (EIF) offers an innovative model designed to elevate the financial sector in the United Arab Emirates and create a sustainable pool of national talents capable of filling critical roles in this vital sector.
Through its world-class training and qualifying course and with special focus on Emirati candidates, EIF provides banking and insurance sector’s employees with the necessary skills and expertise to create a group of industry leaders in the UAE.
Over the past years, we built robust relations with international learning partners to provide state-of-the-art training programs and equip trainees with the latest financial knowledge and experiences, as well as professional certificates, following international best practices.
Throughout the years, EIF empowered many trainees, and provided them with the skills to keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital ecosystem within the financial and insurance sectors, through training programs. We make sure to update our programs annually to meet the sector’s growth and requirements.
