It is some time that I made a post for last. I was stuck with my exams last couple of weeks and could not spare time to make a comment.
As a Banker in Sri Lanka, the only paper qualification that is recognized is the Certificate in Banking and Finance and Diploma in Banking & Finance which are held by the Institute of bankers of Sri Lanka. At some banks this qualification is vital for career development but some banks don't encourage so much as all Bank employees do assume that they have life long jobs in this industry! (atleast in Sri lanka!) Nevertheless, many are doing these exams to get a qualification and well that is exactly what I'm doing in a way. I do need a banking qualification to go for my next promotion and I'm working for that!
But I assure that the teachings are much more typically Sri Lankan style and most are not relevant to the day to day banking industry other than Laws and regulations. Marketing and management subjects are out of date and they haven't given enough notice for that. But as it is the only qualification, most intend to follow this. But the practicality is doubtful..
