The IFQ training combined industry veteran Najib Al Aswad's expertise and practical application of the theory of the IFQ exam. That combined with industry leading guest speakers really makes this course a no-brainer for those looking to obtain an IFQ qualification or want to get a deeper understanding of the Islamic Finance industry.

Ustadh Najib’s approach to teaching this course is what differentiates it from all the other courses on the market. From engaging the students with real world examples, drawing upon his extensive experience and inviting practitioners to the class to showcase real world case studies, it’s a truly unique experience.

Worth every penny and more mashAllah

Completing the IFQ training with IFCAB was a truly enriching experience. What differentiates this program is not only its structured, exam-focused preparation but the strategic lens through which Islamic finance is taught, connecting classical Shariah principles with governance standards, regulatory realities, and real institutional practice in a coherent and practical way.

The sessions were highly interactive and grounded in practical, real-world examples drawn from extensive industry experience across multiple jurisdictions. Guest speakers added meaningful depth, offering firsthand insight into how Islamic finance operates within live markets and policy environments.

Mr. Najib Al Aswad brings a rare combination of Shariah scholarship, regulatory insight, and global advisory experience into the classroom. His ability to contextualize complex concepts within today’s financial landscape strengthened both my technical understanding and my confidence in applying Islamic finance principles professionally.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone seeking serious, well-grounded, and practically relevant IFQ preparation.

Ustadh Najib's greatest strength is his actual experience in Islamic Finance consultancy. I gained a lot of insight as he shared his knowledge. He genuinely cares about his students which is apparent in how devoted he is.

I had a truly wonderful experience participating in the Islamic Finance Qualification (IFQ) programme offered by IFCAB UK. From the very first session, it was clear that this is a carefully designed programme that genuinely cares about equipping participants with the right knowledge and skills to thrive in the Islamic finance industry. The quality of teaching was simply superb. Najib, the facilitator, was not only highly competent but also brought an incredible depth of real-world industry experience and exposure to every session. This made the learning experience far more enriching. Complex concepts were broken down in a clear and engaging manner, and the facilitator's passion for the subject was evident throughout. It truly made a difference to have someone who has lived the industry guiding the learning journey. Whether you are a fresh graduate, a working professional looking to transition into the sector, or simply someone who wants to understand Islamic finance better, this programme offers an excellent starting point. IFCAB UK has put together something genuinely valuable, and I am grateful to have been a beneficiary of this opportunity. I would wholeheartedly recommend the IFQ programme to anyone who is looking to commence a professional journey in Islamic finance.
