The Egyptian Banking Institute (EBI), the official training arm of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), announced its achievements for fiscal year 2020/21, confirming its commitment to develop and train the human capital in the banking and financial sectors.
The institute’s outstanding accomplishments positioned it as a pioneer in learning and development across the region.
Abdel Aziz Nossier, Executive Director of EBI, expressed his delight at the Institute’s journey in terms of development, growth, and achievement of sustainable success during FY 2020/21.
He said, “Launching EBI’s E-Learning platform in 2018 is considered as a proactive step that made us ready to provide our services with the latest digital learning technologies after the spread of the coronavirus.
During 2020/21, 24,150 trainees and more than 70,000 beneficiaries received EBI’s interactive distance learning (IDL) and E-learning programmes. As for our international programmes, EBI delivered 80 international programmes for 1,184 trainees through IDL, in cooperation with international training and financial organizations. Furthermore, EBI also delivered several new programmes addressing topics compatible with the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the financial and banking sector.”
Under the auspices of CBE, EBI continued to deliver the SANS Security Awareness programme in cooperation with SANS for 30,000 bankers from 12 banks enabling all candidates to be capable of facing all cyber dangers and electronic attacks.
In light of EBI’s continuous efforts to expand in delivering its E-Learning Services, EBI also signed a cooperation agreement with Go1, an established leader in online learning and education, to offer the Egyptian banking sector access to more than 80,000 courses from world renowned content providers, including Skillsoft, Thomson Reuters, and Wall Street Prep, all through one centralized platform.
Nossier added that during 2020/21, EBI developed and launched its Training for Employment (TFE) programme in its new e-learning format, with an aim of bridging the gap between academic education and the labour market requirements by developing the technical and business skills of youth through a specialized training that will make them capable of interacting and dealing with others and boost the skills required for their career growth.
Under the auspices of CBE and to complement the Institute’s role in supporting the development of human capital in the African banking sector, EBI succeeded in providing training services during FY 2020/21 to more than 200 professionals in the African banking sector, bringing the total number of beneficiaries that benefited from EBI’s training services reach more than 3,500 African trainees in more than 40 African countries.
