No. MCC is MTWAFIQ’s own certification. It is not accredited by a regulator or an external accreditation body, and no such approval is claimed. If that changes, MTWAFIQ will announce it.
No. Future Leaders is open practice: a ten-grade climb written for this website (Grades 1–9 of general banking across every function, then Grade 10, the C-level role cases), with the answer shown after you reply. The MCC exam forms (A–E for each role) are separate and private, and a Future Leaders grade or score earns no badge.
During the pilot, MCC Online is by invitation. Write to contact@mtwafiq.com with the role you want; invited candidates receive their exam details by email.
The holder’s name as they gave it, the role, the level, the issue date, the date it expires and its status: valid, expired or revoked. Badge pages are not listed in search engines; the holder decides who gets the link.
