The Central Bank of Bahrain issued this draft Module TC to establish mandatory training and competency standards for financing company licensees regarding individuals in controlled functions. The module requires a minimum of 15 annual continuing professional development hours, five-year retention of training and recruitment records, and strict application of the qualifications and experience criteria in Appendix TC-1. Incorporating industry feedback, the regulator confirmed these obligations extend to board members and non-employees while preserving discretionary approval authority for candidates who demonstrate overall fitness.
