Greetings!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>I want you to be among the first to know that it will be possible to study the curriculum of the International Academy of Retail Banking online, via e-learning from March this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>This means that retail bankers all over the world will be able to prepare for the professional examinations and become\u00a0Certified International Retail Bankers (CIRBs)<\/strong>\u00a0in their own time without interfering with their everyday work schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our aim is to make it possible for ambitious retail bankers everywhere to embark on a programme to professionalise retail banking with the over-riding objective of delivering far better banking services to people across the world. Members and students will be bound by the Academy\u2019s ethical code. We are confident that the status of retail bankers will soon be vastly improved as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

Programme fees for 2013, which include course books and examinations, range from $650 for Retail Banking I (the foundation level), to $850 for Retail Banking II (intermediate) and $1,150 for Retail Banking III (expert level).<\/span><\/p>\n

Demands for change<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>Governments, regulators and the public at large worldwide are now demanding that retail bankers should be properly educated and bound by demanding professional standards like accountants and lawyers. Retail bankers are being told that they must act in clients\u2019 interests rather than push products.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The International Academy of Retail Banking is the only educational body in the world offering specialised post-graduate training in the retail banking field \u2013 both to qualification level and on an ongoing, continuous basis.<\/span>\u00a0Lafferty Group<\/span><\/em>, of which the Academy is part, has provided industry research and intelligence to retail banks for more than 30 years.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A great deal has happened since we announced the launch of the Academy back in late 2011, including:<\/span> <\/p>\n
