KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 (Bernama) — An ongoing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) encourages graduates to explore a career in takaful by offering graduates exemption from taking the “Takaful Basic Examination” (TBE). The TBE is a compulsory entry qualification for those who intend to be registered takaful agents. The MoU automatically qualifies a graduate of UiTM’s Diploma in Actuarial Science, Bachelor of Science (Hons) Actuarial Science and Master of Islamic Banking and Finance to become a registered takaful agent, and explore a wide range of career opportunities in the Takaful industry.
MTA’s CEO, Mohd Radzuan Mohamed stated that the continuation of this collaboration in 2022 will support the academic and career development of the student thus creating more robust graduates for the future, the MoU also opens the critical opportunity for internships, attachment programmes or practical training at MTA and its member companies for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
