Riyadh: Today, Fitch Learning and Banque Saudi Fransi (BSF) announced the launch of their new Credit Academy Program for 2020, which aims to deliver global best practice in credit analysis for credit professionals at all stages of their BSF careers, via a blended mix of in-house classroom and online training.
The Credit Academy has three levels; a mandatory eight-day foundational training program, a Flagship five-week Credit Program for Corporate Bankers and Risk Analysts, and a Continuous Professional Development track to deliver advanced credit skills on an applied basis.
Andreas Karaiskos, CEO of Fitch Learning, said: “I am pleased to deliver this flagship Credit Academy Program in Saudi Arabia together with BSF. Our project-led teams have worked very closely alongside BSF’s stakeholders to construct a series of learning interventions and design a program that concentrates on BSF key objectives. The Program will ensure that the needs of BSF credit divisions are met, by using a modular learning approach to cover off BSF credit processes, documentation, competency frameworks and PDP, as well as global best practice credit concepts and case study scenarios.”
Reem Alkhamis, Head of Learning and Talent Management of BSF, commented: “We are delighted that our employees will be able to gain both accredited credit analysis skills and the international expertise needed to further their careers with us, while helping to build a credit culture that positions BSF as a market leader.”
