Absa Bank selects PIC Solutions Credit Academy seminars

PIC Solutions has been selected by Absa Bank to deliver an intensive programme of Credit Academy training seminars for the bank`s personnel.

PIC Solutions launched The Credit Academy in 2002 and this specialist training programme includes a series of 12 credit risk management seminars, ranging from one to three days. The seminars can be delivered at the PIC Solutions training facilities in SA or clients can elect to have the training delivered onsite.

Absa Bank has selected a customised solution for training its personnel, which will be delivered at the bank`s premises. As well as the seminar presentations, the delegates will be exposed to a series of case studies and exercises, based on international best practices. Through this interactive approach, the attendees will be able to return to their work environment with a full understanding of materials covered in the seminars.

Pieter van Wyk, Deputy Operating Executive at Absa Bank, states: "Absa has invested significantly in credit risk management software, systems and scorecards. To ensure that we maintain our competitive-edge in the banking industry and also offer our clients excellent service, we are constantly training and developing the skills of our staff.

Our personnel have a wealth of experience of delivering practical training solutions all over the world and we are delighted to present this customised training programme for Absa. The banking industry is constantly changing and organisations need to maximise the training and development of their personnel to improve their knowledge base and ultimately their profits."
