The CFA® designation is the most prestigious in the field of Finance, especially for portfolio managers. It is globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of Financial Analysts, Portfolio Managers and Finance Professionals. To obtain the CFA® charter, CFA Institute has set different requirements. One is that candidates have to pass three exams referred to as levels I, II, and III. Candidates are only admitted to take the next level exam after passing the previous level exam.

The FRM® Certificate has been adopted by companies as a benchmark to ensure their risk management employees are well versed in the latest financial risk concepts. The FRM program was launched in 1997 and is now recognized as the world’s most prestigious global certification program for Financial Risk Managers. We offer the FRM® review program jointly with the Association of Lebanse Banks in Beirut and the Union of Arab banks in the rest of the Arab countries.

The CVA® is for corporate valuation analysts focusing on closely held and privately held firms administered by the International Association of Consultants, Valuers and Analysts.
