How the Program Works

We break everything down into manageable chunks. Each phase builds on what you've learned before, so nothing feels overwhelming.

Phase One

Banking Fundamentals

12 weeks

Start with the basics. Account types, transaction processing, regulatory compliance. We cover what happens behind the scenes when someone opens a savings account or applies for a loan.

Phase Two

Customer Service Excellence

10 weeks

Real conversations matter. You'll practice handling difficult situations, explaining complex products clearly, and building trust with customers who might be confused or frustrated.

Phase Three

Financial Products & Services

14 weeks

Mortgages, credit cards, investment accounts—each product has its quirks. We walk through real scenarios so you understand what customers actually need versus what they think they need.

Phase Four

Applied Experience

10 weeks

Put it all together with case studies based on real situations. You'll work through lending decisions, fraud investigations, and customer relationship management scenarios.

"I appreciated that they didn't sugarcoat things. Banking has challenges, and they prepared us for the reality—not some idealized version. The case studies were especially useful."

"The hybrid format worked well for my schedule. I could attend some sessions online when I needed to, but the in-person workshops were where I learned the most about handling customer interactions."
