The knowledge and skills that will be acquired are expected to translate into positive outcomes not only for the students, but also for the country and the region as a whole.

Delivery of the course is being made possible through the successful fostering of partnerships between the ECCB, the Eastern Caribbean Institute of Banking (ECIB), the University of the West Indies (UWI), and local financial institutions. Prospective registrants should contact Cheryl Rodriguez, local coordinator, ECIB at the National Commercial Bank (457-1844) or the ECCB Agency Office (456-1413).
