  • Basic skill set as far as marketing and risk assessment in conventional and islamic finance is same. What makes the difference is awareness of Sharia compliance in various islamic financing modes. You should study sharia concepts in islamic finance whereas the technical and mathematical in conventional finance is good enough.

  • Evaluation principals are the same as in conventional and Islamic finance. The process of doing business in Sharia law must be clearly known and taught to the customers towards the progress of the system at large.

  • You might think about doing some of the correspondence courses available on Islamic Finance, if you are away from the gulf. These include the IFQ by the Securities Institute or the Certificate in Islamic finance by CIMA or the Diploma in Islamic Accounting and Compliance by AIA/BIBF. These are good enough for you to get a good understanding of the Shari'a constraints and economics of Islamic Finance and how Islamic Financial Institutions operate in reality. Everything else is almost the same.
