Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance Launches Professional Blockchain Certification

Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) has launched the Blockchain Academy, marking the kingdom’s first professional certification for blockchain technology. This initiative, aimed at addressing skill gaps in the rapidly growing blockchain sector, is in collaboration with MyLearning Key, a Dubai-based training provider. The five-day program, which began on January 6, 2019, will provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience across three key areas: development, implementation, and strategy.

Dr. Ahmed Sheikh, General Director of BIBF, emphasized the academy’s role in meeting market demand by equipping Bahrain’s financial workforce with the skills necessary to thrive in the blockchain industry. The initiative addresses the global shortage of blockchain developers and aligns with Bahrain’s goal of becoming a hub for cutting-edge technologies.

The Blockchain Academy aims to improve Bahrain’s position in the digital economy by offering the skills needed in sectors such as finance, supply chain, and smart contracts. This strategic educational initiative is expected to enhance employment prospects, attract investment, and solidify Bahrain’s reputation as a center for technological innovation.
