Global banking and finance training and qualifications

Local learning in a global world

Global banking and finance training and qualifications

Your region has its own distinct challenges, risks and opportunities. Our learning programmes combine international best practice in financial services with local context – to give your banking and finance teams training that will set them apart.

By working with financial institutions, educators, regulators and governments internationally, we provide local expertise to support training programmes anywhere in the world. So, wherever you are, we’ll work with you to build the skills and expertise you and your organisation need. 

Governance and risk management

The Centre for Governance, Risk and Regulation brings together an international network of subject matter experts, practitioners and associates with years of experience in risk, regulation, governance and compliance.

We have a long history of working globally, so we understand that each region has its own distinct risks and opportunities.

Through our unique approach, we can help you prepare for the risks and uncertainties of a constantly changing environment – no matter where you are in the world.

Our network of subject matter experts, practitioners and associates have years of experience growing digital businesses, deploying digital solutions and leading fintech organisations.

SME lending and alternative data

Alternative data is transforming the way banks lend to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In both mature and emerging markets, it offers an opportunity to bridge the credit gap and increase portfolios. But how can you be sure that your teams are skilled enough to use it effectively?

We can teach your teams how to:

  • deploy alternative lending techniques
  • adapt them to market conditions
  • use data confidently and
  • tailor solutions for your SME clients.

Your business will benefit from reduced risk, increased sales and a skilled and more empowered workforce.
