Foundation Banking Studies

Training programme and exams for the
European Foundation Certificate in Banking
- EFCB -

The Hellenic Banking Institute and 18 other members of the European Bank Training Network (EBTN) worked closely for two years in order to develop the European Foundation Certificate in Banking (EFCB). With the principal aim of supporting mobility in the European financial services market, the EFCB certification system was designed as a tool for banks all over Europe to use in recruitment, training and HR development procedures, and in establishing quality standards for client service. Moreover it is especially useful for banks with networks in various European countries, which seek to create synergies with the local markets.
