The Shariah Wealth Planner (SWP) programme is Emzek Academy's flagship course, and the one most graduates credit for their exam success. Here's what a participant can expect from the 7-day, face-to-face programme.
Who it's for
SWP is designed for finance professionals preparing for the IFP® Challenge Status examination or the Shariah RFP Capstone module. It is a preparatory course, not a certification itself - the IFP® certification is awarded by IBFIM after you pass the official exam.
What the curriculum covers
- Shariah foundations relevant to financial planning
- Risk management and Takaful frameworks
- Islamic investment principles and portfolio construction
- Islamic legacy planning tools - hibah, wasiat and faraid
- Professional ethics and full financial plan construction
How classes are run
Sessions combine instructor-led teaching with group discussions, case analysis, and hands-on workshops where participants build sample financial plans. A dedicated revision class and mock exams are scheduled before the official IFP® examination dates.
Extra support available
Participants who find Excel-based calculations or plan construction challenging can book Personalized Coaching Sessions - one-on-one or in small groups - at RM 150 per hour, available online or in person.
The SWP programme is HRD Corp claimable, runs in small class sizes, and has helped Emzek Academy graduates achieve a 90%+ passing rate. See our Programs page for upcoming intake dates.
