ifs Malta has successfully adopted a new way of reaching out to its students through innovative training delivery methods. This is the first time since its inception in 1961 that the Institute is using technology to deliver lectures in a virtual learning environment. During the online learning experience, students benefit from tutor contact during lectures and are able to communicate and fully interact with each other. Tutors and students also like the flexibility of virtual learning, especially not having to physically travel.
“Our committee has done an outstanding job in a very limited time to adopt virtual learning as a result of the uninvited COVID-19 situation. We are very pleased to be able to offer a premium quality service which enables students to continue learning from the safety and comfort of their own homes” said Kenneth B Micallef, ifs Malta President.
In the very near future, ifs Malta school plans to introduce other digital/virtual services and also offer digital individual home examinations.
The first ifs virtual lecture was delivered by Lisa Vella, facilitating learning to students reading for their LIBF Diploma for Financial Advisors (DipFA). Through studying DipFA, students learn all the skills they need to begin a career as a financial adviser.
“The new range of our training services now includes a blended variety of training methods, from virtual to the classic face-to-face tutor contact. The addition of online training, enhances the Institute’s traditional learning delivery structure and is very much needed as we adopt to the new ways of operating” said Mark Agius, ifs Malta Director of Education.
The Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA) is a highly relevant programme of study that develops the knowledge required and enhances skills and practical understanding needed to operate in the field of financial advice.
A practical, introductory-level course that will give you a solid understanding of core compliance issues.
The main objective of this training course is to provide a solid background of the local regulatory framework.
The aim of this qualification is to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills required to analyse and respond to emerging ESG issues within their business organisation.
The Institute of Financial Services (ifs Malta) recently organised its Annual Dinner at the Westin Dragonara Resort, St Julians. The well-established event in the calendar of the financial services sector turned out to be a very successful gathering of key stakeholders from the financial and business community together with those from academia and constituted bodies.
