I have been an IOB member since 2010. In the last 10+ years, I changed roles and progressed my career. IOB educational support was one of the enablers of this progress.

When I joined the bank first, I got my QFA designation and just last year I completed the Certified Bank Director program. I would recommend IOB to anyone in banking regardless of what qualifications and experience they already have.
