“BIBF has a proven track record for continuing to outperform global pass rates for a majority of our programmes. This is a testament to the teaching quality offered at BIBF and its commitment to educational excellence,” BIBF Deputy Director Dr. Ahmed Al Shaikh, said.
“We have developed our own delivery systems and in-house training resources with the aim of providing students with the right guidance, knowledge and skills necessary for exam success. Within our Centre for Accounting alone for example, we boast a training faculty of 8 members, all of whom are qualified Chartered Accountants themselves,” Dr. A-Shaikh, added.
