Dubai, UAE - NADIA Global, the Gulf’s #1 Recruiter and Trainer, today launches its partnership with RBA International UK (Retail Banking Academy International) to be the first in the region to offer globally recognized and best-in-class certified Retail Banking training courses for Individuals. In the UAE there are no minimum qualification standards prescribed for the profession. With over 25,000 retail bankers in the UAE, enhancing and evolving the required skills with high level certification will help differentiate individual bankers in a competitive market; help graduates position themselves strongly amongst their peers, and through training improve the quality of advice shared that will impact customer service ratings positively.
These programs have been accepted by over 100 banks across the world including many UAE Banks.

The CRB programme is the only one of its kind in the world that makes it possible for retail bankers to embark on a structured certification programme that covers every aspect of the industry end to end. The courses are online with some classroom-based modules to reinforce key pillars of the programme. Students will require six months to complete a programme, spending approximately seven hours per week on study.
