The World Federation is committed to providing Islamic education through effective in-depth courses and modules on Islamic subjects. These short modules are known as CPD (Continuous Personal Development) courses and are primarily aimed at Muballigheen (i.e. Ulama and Zakireen), and thereafter at Madrasah Teachers and personnel.
The courses provides participants an appropriate setting in which they can examine and discuss various fields of Islamic subjects along with their peers, under the guidance of an experienced tutor. They make for excellent opportunities to enrich ones knowledge in the relevant fields, whilst at the same time allowing for new contacts to be made.
These CPD courses are delivered in conjunction with regional federations, and are led by experts in the field.
