IFS-Malta hosts EU banking, insurance, finance project meeting

As part of the EU-funded Banking Insurance Finance (BIF) Project, the Institute of Financial Services (Malta) recently hosted a meeting to finalise the action plan for the project’s completion.

The BIF project promotes learning outcomes through the European Credit Transfer System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET).

Its main objective is to allow greater portability of qualifications in the BIF sector, which will facilitate the mobility of labour across Europe.

The Malta meeting wasinstrumental in finalising the methodology and guidelines for the attribution of ECVET credit points and agreeing the action plan for the finalisation of the project and the dissemination conference which is due to take place in Rome in September.

IFS-Malta was represented by committee members WendyZammit and Peter Calleya. Other delegates included Malta Union of Bank Employees’ William Portelli.

IFS-Malta’s participation in this project was facilitated through its membership of the European Banking and Financial Services Training Association.
