Delivery
How training is delivered
Programmes are designed with practitioners, for practitioners. Sessions combine short presentations with case studies, group work and discussion of the situations staff meet every day.
In person. Classroom sessions bring together staff from across member banks to learn from experts and from each other.
Online. Live online courses make training easier to reach for staff outside the capital and reduce time away from work.
In-house. Member banks can request programmes delivered on their own premises and shaped around their teams.
