Wiley (NYSE:JWA)(NYSE:JWB), a global leader in research and
education, and PwC’s Academy Middle East, the talent and skills
development business of PwC Middle East, today announced the
expansion of their partnership to support as many as 20,000 finance
and accounting professionals via high-quality certification exam
preparation programs.
To serve the fast-growing number of finance professionals
throughout the Middle East seeking to advance their careers with a
CFA designation, Wiley and PwC’s Academy will now deliver blended
(both in-person and online) Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam
review courses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab
Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and
Qatar.
The CFA courses will combine Wiley’s award-winning digital
Efficient Learning platform and study materials with best-in-class
faculty and training methods from PwC’s Academy to provide learners
a clear path to the CFA charter through a blended learning
experience.
“Wiley is committed to helping learners across the globe succeed
at every stage of their professional journeys,” said Renee Altier,
Wiley SVP and General Manager, Business Education and Careers. “We
are thrilled to enhance our current partnership with PwC’s Academy
Middle East and help learners develop additional competencies with
our industry-leading study content in finance and accounting.”
“PwC’s Academy has been upskilling CFA professionals in the
region for over eight years now, and it is our pleasure to extend
the benefits of Wiley’s world-class preparation materials to our
students. I look forward to the positive impact this will have on
their learning experience and exam success,” said Taimur Ali Mir,
Director of Professional Qualifications at PwC’s Academy.
PwC’s Academy and Wiley will also offer new in-person
preparation classes for CFA and CMA exams in Saudi Arabia later in
2021. These courses will bring much needed support and quality
study materials to a quickly developing market.
This offering builds upon the existing partnership between Wiley
and PwC’s Academy, which features preparation courses for Certified
Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and
Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) exams.
