The HBI is the
vocational education and training arm of the Hellenic Bank Association.
Its purpose is
to contribute to the improvement of the competitiveness of banks
through the systematic development of the professional qualifications
of their human resources.
The main task of
the HBI is to design and implement professional training programmes,
based on an integrated system, which includes all learning objects
related to the broader financial sector and covers all levels
of knowledge and skills.
The primary aims of the HBI are to ensure that the
training it provides matches the actual needs of the sector,
and that learning outcomes are evaluated.
To this end, it constantly updates its curriculum, being at the
same time a leader in adopting examination methods upon completion
of training. Moreover:
| |
 |
és accredited as a Center of Lifelong
Learning Level One by the National Organisation
for the Certification of Qualifications And Vocational
Guidance (EOPPEP);
|
|
|
a number of its programmes and
examination procedures have been accredited on the
European and national levels, and there is an on-going
effort to expand such accreditation;
|
|
|
it maintains continuous contact with its counterparts
in other European countries, always keeping in pace
with developments;
|
|
|
it selects trainers among experienced professionals
of the banking sector and specialized university
professors.
|
|
|

As the sole agency responsible for the design and implementation
of interbank educational policy, the HBI bases its activities
on the proposals of the Board of Education and the work of the
Interbank Advisory Committee of Training Managers of the Hellenic
Bank Association. The expertise of the HBA executives, in conjunction
with the participation of banks' representatives in its various
interbank committees, endows the Institute's training
programme with two major competitive advantages:
| |
 |
it is a uniquely systematic training solution
for the development of a bank's human capital, and |
|
|
it is the only integrated programme in Greece
on the regulatory framework of the financial system.
