January 31, 2010

BIBF is pleased to announce its accreditation with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), the largest and longest established marketing organisation in the world, to offer marketing professional qualifications in Bahrain.

The CIM set of qualifications makes a real difference to anyone interested in pursuing either a career in marketing or on-going professional development for existing marketing practitioners. The qualifications are industry-proven, internationally recognised and range from introductory courses for those new to the profession to strategic-level qualifications for senior managers. BIBF will offer three levels of CIM professional marketing qualifications. They are the Introductory Certificate in Marketing, the Professional Certificate in Marketing, and the Professional Diploma in Marketing. All courses commence the 14th February, 2010 and will last for three to four months based on qualification level.

On this occasion, Garry Muriwai, BIBF Director commented that “BIBF has a strategy of aligning with the most respected bodies in the world. All marketing practitioners will recognize the value of CIM and the quality of their qualifications. Marketing is a discipline BIBF is committed to developing and as such the addition of this partner to the other highly reputable organizations can only add to its already considerable partner quality” Mr Muriwai added “Marketing is a discipline that adds weight to organization business decisions, so our desire to forge a BIBF – CIM partnership stems from our strategic focus of delivering best practice to the Bahrain financial sector and adding to the intellectual capital of the people within it.

John Little, the CIM Regional Education Manager commented “We are pleased to announce the accreditation of BIBF as a centre, among others around the world, to deliver the CIM marketing professional qualifications. This undoubtedly adds to the excellent network CIM has internationally”. For more information on this type of qualifications, please call BIBF on 17815555 or visit www.bibf.com
