Course Details: SMART Chartered Banker - The highest recognised qualification for banking professionals

Who is it for?
The Senior Management Accelerated Route to Chartered Banker status (SMART CB) offers practising senior banking professionals a way to gain a recognised external endorsement of their skills. For those employed in the complex and ever-changing banking industry this demonstration of technical expertise and probity has never been more important.

What is it about?
In order to be eligible for the accelerated route to Chartered Banker status, applicants must work at a senior level in their organisation. A detailed review of prior experience and qualifications will be undertaken before suitability for the fast-track route is confirmed.

The qualification is undertaken alongside the candidate’s day-to-day job, offering the opportunity to critically evaluate and benchmark current practice and past experience through a rigorous assessment of competence. The personalised assessment method minimises time out and disruption and maximises relevance, while candidates benefit from the advice and support of a personal mentor to guide them through the qualification.

What will you get out of it?
SMART CB keeps further examinations to a minimum, and includes a compulsory module in Professionalism & Ethics.

External endorsement
Upon completion of the qualification candidates will be authorised by The Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland to use the designation “Chartered Banker”, subject to meeting its annual CPD requirements. They will benefit from the associated standing and recognition of competence, as well as a Level 7 (SCQF Level 11) qualification (equivalent to a Masters degree).
