Thanks Suntou. I am not an accountant but I would be very interested in such a course. I wonder if they offer it online since it is a self study course?
I suppose I can call and ask them.

Dear Mr TOURAY
Press Release
05 December 2007
CIMA First Professional Accountancy Body To Offer Islamic Finance
Global Qualification
CIMA (the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) is the first
professional chartered accountancy body to offer a global qualification
in Islamic Finance, which the CIMA Centre of Excellence is launching
today (05 December).
The Islamic finance industry is thought to be worth between £150bn and
£250bn, and is growing at an estimated rate of 15 – 20%. In an
exciting new development in meeting the needs of its employer and student
stakeholders, CIMA today launches a global qualification in Islamic
Finance. We believe that this is a first for a professional accountancy
body. To date, few courses are available in this area of finance and
normally comprise of short 1 – 3 day events. CIMA’s self-study
qualification has been developed alongside the International Institute of
Islamic Finance, with detailed input from its CEO Dr Mohd Daud Bakar, a
renowned Shari’ah Scholar.
Robert Jelly, Director of Education at CIMA, says:
“CIMA has identified that there is considerable demand from the
global business community to develop the knowledge and skills required to
service this increasingly important market. The CIMA Islamic Finance
qualification is the first to be created in conjunction with an Advisory
Group made up of academics, practitioners and scholars of Shari’ah, and
will assist employers in the City of London and other major financial
centres throughout the world in equipping their employees to develop
financial products.”
CIMA’s new qualification is available at Certificate level and
comprises four modules: Islamic commercial law; Islamic banking and takaful
(insurance); Islamic capital markets and instruments; and accounting for
Islamic financial institutions. It is estimated that a student can
complete these modules in between 2 – 6 months depending upon prior
experience.
The qualification is available across the globe as a series of study
guides, revision kits and a microsite and provides students with a
thorough knowledge of the theoretical and religious aspects that underpin
Islamic finance. On completing the Certificate, students will be
comfortable with the array of Arabic terminology used throughout as well as
the
regulations which govern Islamic finance in practice.
