The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies has launched an e-learning platform to improve the skills of professionals in the banking and finance sector as it adapts to the post-Covid-19 environment.

Banking and finance professionals currently have free access to the education and training centre's Insight platform, which offers about 100 courses to date and uses a blended format of interactive learning.

EIBFS offers education and training programmes, including diplomas and bachelor degrees in banking and finance, at its campuses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

However, as the Covid-19 outbreak forced schools and universities in the Emirates to close in March, the institute migrated to offering online courses to its students.

It intends to have over 150 courses on its new Insight platform by the end of 2021 to educate professionals and supplement physical classroom learning.
