The Institute of Banking and Finance of Trinidad and Tobago is committed to the enhancement of its programmes to reflect the dynamic changes within the Financial Services Industry. In keeping with this commitment, the Institute has enhanced its Diploma in Banking Programme (DIB), which was launched on October 3rd 2007. Students will be examined on the new syllabi effective May 2008.
The Programme has been enhanced as follows:-
1. The Diploma in Banking now consists of fourteen modules, instead of the previous seventeen;
a. The Certificate Level will now comprise six modules
b. The Diploma Level will now comprise eight modules
2. The Associateship Level has been merged with the Diploma Level. Students will now move directly into the Diploma Level after completing the Certificate in Banking
3. Students will be awarded the A.I.B.A.F. designation upon completion of all fourteen modules of the Diploma Programme
How will these changes affect you?
- The Customer Service and Business Communication modules were merged. Students who have successfully completed any part of this new module previously, will not be required to complete the other part
- The Legal Environment and Banking Law modules were combined to form the new Banking Law module. Students who have successfully completed any part of this new module previously, will not be required to complete the other part
- A certificate will be awarded to successful students upon completion of the Certificate in Banking
- Students who have completed the Certificate in Banking will progress directly to the Diploma Level
- As a result of the merger of the Associateship and Diploma Levels, students currently pursuing modules at the Associateship in Banking, will be automatically placed at the Diploma Level
- Each module has new recommended texts
Note: These changes will not affect students’ acceptance to the University of the West Indies Faculty of Social Sciences. Additionally, matriculation to the UWI’s BSc. Banking and Finance offered via the Evening University also remains unchanged. Also students with a B+ Average are still eligible for exemptions and credits.
