The Microfinance Passport is conceived to suit the busy life styles of working professionals who despite their interest may not find the time to attend a full-time course. Offered as a four-month distance learning course, the Microfinance Passport covers the entire breadth of microfinance through two study-modules:

Participants have two months to go through each study-module and the accompanying/ suggested reference material. At the end of each module participants would have to answer the accompanying assignments and mail them back to the Course Coordinator. As a further aid to learning, participants would be mailed a specifically designed fortnightly newsletter, presenting a synopsis of the current news and happenings in the microfinance industry globally. Learn about the other requirements in the Features section.

Completing the assignments together with other requirements would be mandatory for the grant of the Microfinance Passport Certificate at the end of the course.
