Testimonials

Sheikh Moustapha S.

The course is spectacular. It provides the student with a concise yet hollistic understanding of the vastly growing Islamic finance industry and its innovative Shariah compliant products. Though what I mostly found intriguing was its practical approach on dealing with everyday transactions.

Sadia K.

Almir Colan’s genuine care, extensive knowledge and creative ways to explain complex issues make his course very engaging, interesting, and highly beneficial. I took the course and I must say, the thoroughness of each subject matter is much more than what you would normally expect from an intensive Islamic Finance course.

Adalat J.

I did benefit from your online course a lot, from there I started my research on Islamic banking and finance reporting requirements and compliance with Sharia.
