CIEA Academy
Start with the question you already carry
Islamic finance in plain English. Short courses for your own money, and live cohorts for professionals. Every course answers one question people actually ask.

One classic text, one modern money problem
Nine short courses for everyone, with no finance background needed. Each pairs a lesson from the tradition with a money problem you face this week: your salary, your online shop, your credit card.

How a course works
Four short lessons, one worksheet, a live Q&A

Watch at your pace
Four lessons of about 18 minutes each. All four unlock the moment you buy.
-
Make your move
A one-page worksheet turns each course into one thing you do this week.
-
Ask your question
Each course has a live Q&A every month. Send your question ahead; the team screens it, and the Shariah board approves any ruling before the session.
