DUBAI, United Arab Emirates & BALTIMORE (Business Wire EON) November 5, 2008 -- The strategic win marks Prometric Dubai's first win in the Middle East and North Africa financial services sector, an area experiencing rapid growth in Saudi Arabia as a result of a booming oil industry.

Jamaan A. Al-Wagdany, Director General at the Institute of Banking, said, "As a leader in financial services, the Institute of Banking is committed to building its finance and banking programs to the highest standards. Working in collaboration with Prometric to bring testing to the mainstream will develop a highly qualified talent pool and bring Saudi financial expertise to the forefront of the global economy. IOB selected Prometric as its partner because of its knowledge, expertise and leadership in the testing field, as well as its physical presence in the region."
Michael Brannick, President of Prometric, said, "Prometric is an agile company that presented an a la carte offering, in the form of a new operational model, to meet a client need.
