This catalogue provides an overview of the main programme pathways. Current dates and registration details are published in the Upcoming events and News and insights sections.

How our programmes are structured

Programmes are organised to support different stages of market and institutional maturity. Participants typically progress from foundational understanding to applied implementation and specialised practice, with practical tools and case-led learning embedded throughout.

Where appropriate, programmes include readiness diagnostics, clinic-style working sessions, and implementation toolkits to help participants translate learning into operational action.

Programme pathways

1) Standards enablement programmes

These programmes focus on practical adoption of AAOIFI standards, helping teams translate requirements into governance routines, documentation discipline, reporting practices, and assurance readiness.

Typical formats include structured implementation workshops, function-based clinics, and adoption pathway sessions designed for cross-functional teams.

2) Training and professional development programmes

These programmes build capability across key functions and roles, including boards and senior management, Shariah governance, compliance and risk, finance and reporting, internal audit, product teams, and professional services.

Training is delivered through progressive pathways (foundation, applied, advanced), and can be offered as public courses, customised in-house delivery, or blended learning series.

3) Certification readiness programmes

Certification readiness programmes support candidates preparing for professional assessment pathways (where available). They focus on applied competence, practical interpretation, and exam readiness, supported by structured materials and guided revision clinics.

Certification pathways and schedules vary by year and market demand and are announced through official programme updates.

4) Institutional advisory programmes

These engagements support institutions seeking structured implementation support and capability uplift. Advisory programmes are outcomes-focused and typically include scoping, diagnostics, implementation planning, and targeted clinics for relevant functions.

Institutional advisory is delivered with appropriate safeguards to protect independence, integrity, and technical credibility.

5) Regulators and market development programmes

These programmes support supervisory authorities and market stakeholders through implementation pathways, capacity building, maturity mapping, and shared toolkits that improve consistency and reduce fragmentation across institutions.

Engagements may include policy dialogue, supervisory capability sessions, market diagnostics, and structured stakeholder convening to support coordinated market progress.

6) Convening and flagship events

The centre convenes forums, roundtables, and technical workshops to align stakeholders, share implementation learning, and accelerate collaboration across the ecosystem.

Events range from senior-level dialogue to practitioner clinics. Some are open for registration, while others are invitation-based due to technical scope and stakeholder composition.

7) Innovation and fintech pilots (programme track)

This track supports responsible innovation through pilot-ready engagement. It brings together institutions, regulators, fintechs, and infrastructure partners to explore implementable use cases that remain Shariah-aligned and standards-informed.

Programmes typically focus on governance safeguards, operational feasibility, documentation expectations, and pathways for controlled testing and responsible scaling.

Форматы доставки

Programmes may be delivered in-person, online, or in a hybrid format. Depending on scope, delivery may take the form of a short executive briefing, a one- to three-day workshop, a multi-week pathway, or a phased advisory engagement with defined milestones.
