Speaking at the launch, Dr Anthony Walsh, Chief Executive of the Institute of Bankers in Ireland said “The Institute of Bankers, founded in 1898 and now with 30,000 members, is one of the oldest banking institutes in the world. In the spring of 2006 the Institute’s school of Professional Finance became the first ever external recognised school of University College Dublin. Through the new school the Institute ensures the curricula of its courses conform to the highest international academic quality assurance standards.
The focus of the Institute has broadened beyond retail banking to the wider financial services community. The growth in the number and diversity of programmes offered by the Institute reflects this focus. The success in achieving this growth lies with the Institute partnering with many other industry and professional bodies in the development of courses that meet the specific needs of the sector, in a delivery method suited to those who need to combine work and study. This partnership model has been used to great effect in the development of the Certificate in Investment Management (Ireland). We are delighted to have partnered with the Securities & Investment Institute (Ireland) in putting in place a course that is both relevant and rigorous and that links the classroom and workplace by combining the best in industry practice with the highest educational standards. ”
