Testimonials


I have taken several courses at BIBF since I started my career in Banking, I  recently completed the Branch Manager Programme which was an excellent class that covered several aspects of Banking, HR management and Banking Operations giving me an overview of all that is required to know in order to manage a branch successfully. I am currently doing my part time MBA with DePaul University through BIBF which I believe is a great programme that is very well facilitated. The programme brings qualified professionals to Bahrain giving me the best of both worlds and still allows me to maintain my current job as Unit Head of BBK’s Customer Resolution. The faculty at BIBF are very helpful,  well trained and cooperative and I truly enjoy my learning experience at BIBF.
