KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA) and the Islamic Banking & Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM) will introduce remote sessions for the Takaful Basic Examination (TBE) starting from this week. Candidates will be able to sit for the TBE session from any location at the scheduled examination times. The TBE is a compulsory qualifying criterion – a license to practice – for those who intend to be registered as Takaful agents with MTA. It is also served as an induction for individuals who wanted to pursue a career in Takaful.
This remote TBE is introduced as the effect of the closure of the TBE exam centres due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of the remote TBE sessions is to allow candidates who have already registered for the examination prior to the MCO to take their examination and subsequently pursue their Takaful careers.
