Global qualifications and training must be locally relevant. So we work with regional partners and trainers to ensure our training has local context.
We’re proud to work with governments, financial institutions and other partners around the world to help build the skills and capacity the global banking system needs.

Risk Coalition
The Risk Coalition is a network of not-for-profit professional bodies and membership organisations committed to raising the standards of risk governance in the UK.
The Risk Coalition published Raising the Bar in December 2019 to provide coherent, high quality, principles-based good practice guidance for board risk committees and risk functions in the UK financial services sector.
The Risk Coalition’s objectives for Raising the Bar are to:
- establish a common understanding of the purpose, role and activities of the board risk committee and risk function
- provide a benchmark against which board risk committees and risk functions can be assessed objectively
- fill the gap given the absence of principles-based, good practice risk guidance – whilst recognising the presence of detailed regulation
- raise the general standard of risk governance and oversight practice in UK financial services and beyond.

To support ADGMA, LIBF has an office in Abu Dhabi, which caters to the education and training needs of the banking and finance sector in the Gulf Council Countries and the MENA region.
We work in close partnership with ADGMA to create and deliver training and education in banking and finance. This includes bespoke learning programmes in governance, risk and regulation.

Asian Banking School, Malaysia
Senior bankers have the technical know-how to deal with the financial fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic. But they may lack the soft skills needed to manage the emotional toll on employees.
We worked with the Asia Banking School in 2020–21, to co-deliver five modules of training to senior bankers across Malaysia. Together we set out to help banks deal the current crisis, including ‘soft’ risks, such as:
- managing employees who are working remotely
- dealing with staff who are anxious about the pandemic and their jobs
- supporting people who are juggling work and children, and
- keeping teams stable and motivated.
We’re currently developing more programmes with the Asian Banking School.

Académie des Banques et Finance (ABF) de Tunisie
ABF is an association of all the Tunisian banks and financial institutions, founded in 2010 to create an academy dedicated to training professionals in financial services in Tunisia.
Working with trainers from both ABF and IFID, we created an extended training programme for the Tunisian Ministry of Finance and a shorter course for non-executive directors on the boards of Tunisia’s largest banks. Both programmes combined technical knowledge and soft skills with real-life practical learning.
More recently, to help during the Covid-19 crisis, we ran a tailored programme covering all aspects of bank governance in a crisis.
