DUBAI, UAE, May 25 /PRNewswire/ --     The Islamic finance industry gets its first dedicated training portal:
IslamicAdvisory.com, Islamic Finance Training, Online. Certified by leading
scholars, the portal is the first to provide streamable, interactive Islamic 
finance training modules "ideal for training across large-scale 
institutions," as one prominent user, Yusuf Jha, Shariah Controller at Abu 
Dhabi Islamic Bank, describes it.

Commenting on the launch, IslamicAdvisory's MD Atif Khan said, "So far
the Islamic finance industry has relied on 2 day crash courses to get by. But
bankers are frustrated with paying thousands of dollars for theory and
coffee. What is needed is practical, bank-wide training throughout the year,
with case studies, quizzes, and in-house testing."

IslamicAdvisory memberships start at $49/month for individuals and
$6,995/month for entire banks. All training content is based on the latest
AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization of Islamic Financial
Institutions) Shariah Standards, the leading standard-setting body in Islamic
finance. While meeting these global standards, the training modules also
address individual bank needs as an outsourced tool for their training 
departments. In fact, one major Islamic bank recently conducted a Shariah 
review and found IslamicAdvisory's modules to effectively complement their 
existing in-house training.

The website has an impressive array of training modules ranging from
introductory level, such as "Understanding Sukuk," to the practical and 
customer-facing, like "How Is A Murabaha Different From A Conventional Loan?" 
and even the advanced, like "How To Calculate An Ijarah (Islamic Lease) 
Schedule." The site offers dozens of interactive online quizzes and exercises 
and a 90-minute certification exam. New training modules are added every 
week.

In the free access area of the website, IslamicAdvisory offers a
community experience with discussion forums, podcasts, live webinars, member
profiles, and the largest Islamic finance Q&A database available online.
