At the end of last year, Mr Ihab Maximous, a specialist at Exinitic, set a unique achievement by passing MetaQuotes certification in all possible areas. Mr Ihab Maximous passed all three exams and received personal certificates of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform administrator, client manager and dealer.

Mr Ihab Maximous

"First I planned to pass only MetaTrader 5 administrator certification since this is my main field of expertise", says Mr Maximous. "However, I also face many issues related to dealing, so I decided to get certified as a dealer as well. When I studied the description of the Manager certification, I realized that it is useful to all managers of brokerage companies. This is more than just working with the terminal: for example, I acquired useful marketing skills".

The specialist said that he regularly studied the documentation for his main working activity. However, it took him a total of six months to prepare for all the exams. Ihab notes that support site materials were sufficient even when studying previously unknown areas: "Documentation turned out to be sufficient, although I had to focus on each sentence in order not to skip useful information. Workshops turned out to be incredibly useful as well and I would like to thank everybody at MetaQuotes for this huge effort".

Mr Maximous notes that, in addition to new marketing skills he acquired, he also studied the important topics related to the MetaQuotes trading platform and services: "Now I can handle any situation and offer maximum help to traders, while protecting the brokerage company from abusers". Ihab's efforts did not go unnoticed — the company board chairman raised his salary by 45% after he passed all three certifications.

"I believe that all employees of trading departments, handling trading operations, should pass Administrator and Dealer certifications", says Ihab. "And the heads of trading should pass MetaTrader 5 Manager certification. After studying for these certifications, your employees will be able to solve all trading issues more efficiently and answer all clients' questions".
