Next year, EIBFS will conduct over 690 regular training and development programmes - which is 28 per cent higher compared to 2018. A vast majority of new programmes introduced in 2019 will focus on Fintech and other digital technologies, driven by the recommendations and demands of the EIBFS Board of Directors, Advisory Board and banks in the UAE.
The EIBFS 2019 Annual Training Plan involves the launch of four mobile learning apps, available on the App Store and in the Android App Bundle on Google Play, catering to smartphone-savvy learners and supporting a seamless, scalable and interactive learning process. The apps will include:
. EIBFS Training: Helping students stay connected while on the go, the app will provide access to relevant information about EIBFS, its training programs, corporate directory and locations, as well as the option to submit applications for the programs and monitor their status.
. EIBFS Education: The app will offer a detailed overview of existing as well as upcoming training programs, including notifications on the latest developments.
. EIBFS Library: The information resource app will enable database search on a wide range of subjects covered in the training courses.
. EIBFS Research: The app will contain information on research strategies, detail how to get published in the Institute's International Journal of Research in Banking and Finance, and include blogs by industry experts and white papers, as well as economic and industry reports.
Moodle e-learning
EIBFS will deliver its online learning programs via Moodle - a powerful open-source e-learning platform that will be integrated with the Institute's own training portal. The Institute will also upgrade its existing e-learning portfolio with Intuition, a learning management system that combines technology and blended learning solutions.
To facilitate a seamless learning experience, EIBFS will leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to link various classroom and online elements, including devices, projectors, screens, cameras, microphones, lecture capture systems and learning management systems.
EIBFS also announced that it will implement blockchain-based academic credentials starting from January 2019. The solution is aimed at enhancing security and accessibility of official documentations and will enable the issue and verification of academic certificates.
To fast-track the learning curve, EIBFS will set up two dedicated simulation learning rooms for interactive, real-life experience. Providing students with exposure to a real market environment for trading stocks and bonds, the Dealing Room will feature 22 trading stations, equipped with market tools linked with Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters Eikon.
The fintech programs, comprising 13 new courses across 40 schedules, will include Masterclass in Business Analytics and Analytics Using Python, as well as continuing professional development courses, such as Future of Banking, Fintech 101, Blockchain Applications, AI and Machine Learning, IoT Application and Cybersecurity. The two-day courses will be delivered by fintech experts from select banks.
As part of the Institute's ongoing efforts to establish national qualifications with the aim of providing learners with locally recognised credentials to support their professional development and create a transparent talent market, the National Qualifications Authority has approved five of its continuing education units (CEUs) as national qualifications in banking. These include the successfully completed Risk Management with Derivatives, as well as the upcoming Bancassurance, Trade Finance 1, Trade Finance 2 and Quality Management. The development is a response to the demand for UAE based banking qualifications that reflect the needs and regulatory standards in the UAE.
