BAHRAIN – ACCA INITIATIVE

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I start my blog for the month of November. The reason for the delight is the increasing popularity of ACCA in the Middle East. The most recent development in the Middle East is the initiative by the Bahrain Labour Fund to promote and sponsor 650 students in Bahrain on CAT and ACCA courses. The Bahrain Labour Fund in partnership with a local training centre have indeed taken a huge step forward in promoting and encouraging young Bahrainis to take up professional accounting, finance and management courses by sponsoring ACCA courses.

What is enthralling and exciting is that Bahrain is in the verge of breaking into a development spree and the need for professionals will only rise over the next few years and this wonderful programme will enable employers to obtain the services of the best of personnel to carry out their business and assist Management in decision-making.

The recognition of the qualification is increasing year-after-year and this is indeed a matter of pride. I should confess that I was amazed to see the increase in the number of students appearing for exams in the Middle East centers over the last couple of years.

It is vital to note that this project is a part of the Accounting and Finance Skill gap scheme of the Labour Fund. This indeed will be an eye-opener for other developing nations across the Middle-East to for see, identify and rectify any HR shortages that may crop up. I am sure all the other countries across the region will initiate such projects and help add momentum to the development and growth in this part of the world. Professionals are the need of the hour for they need to lead the fast-fueled growth that the region is witnessing. The able services of ACCA's and FCCA's will certainly contribute to the overall development of the society and ensure economic sumptuousness in the Gulf.

Hi Lakshman,

Very glad to note your interest in the ACCA qualification.

It is indeed a matter of privelege for me to have qualified with the ACCA exams and to have become part of the Association. However, as I am not the best of persons to give you input on the info you need, I guess the web-editor will be able to provide you very good guidance about the accredited institutions and procedure to register and enter the exams!

Good luck and thanks for your comments on this blog!

Dear Sir,

At the outset I would like to congratulate you on providing quality education to the Kingdom of Bahrain.

I am very much impressed by the courses offered by your institute and would like to join a highly valued course which would enable me pursue my personal goals.

I would highly appreciate if could kindly send me the complete details of all the courses available in your institue to enable me evaulate and decide on a course which suits me.

For your information i am a graduate in Bachelor of Commerce and working in the Service Industry and so I would not be able to visit your institute to collect the course details.

So, I would request you to kindly send me all the details back to my email.

Thanks and looking forward to joining your esteemed university.

Best regards,

Laxman Vadukar
