Review: CCP Training: Classroom Vs Online
After passing the stage 1 of IIBF CCP exam, a candidate is required to attend to the 3 days training followed by a final exam. IIBF has offered two options for the training program:
- Classes take place from 10am to 5pm on the training days, generally consisting of 3-4 sessions each day. Breaks are given after any session.
| Classroom Training | Virtual/Online Training |
| 3 days training at designated centers after payment of fee | 3 days training free of cost. |
| Some banks allow the candidates to take special leave to attend to the training program | Virtual training can be on any day, so do not think that you would get it on the weekends or on holidays |
| Classroom training are definately better in terms of learning and experience. But the main factor is cost and time. | Virtual training allows you to re-visit the classes even at a later stage during the 3-day training. However, your attendance is monitored by online software and considered for marking purposes |
- There is no denying the fact that the classroom training experience is much better than the online one. The classes are conducted by professional faculty of the IIBF.
- However, if you are posted in far-flung areas or remote areas, and it is difficult to attend to the classroom classes, you should definately go for the virtual/online training, as the quality of the live video lectures is par exellence and candidates are able to raise queries in a real time.
- Classes are generally very enriching and helps to learn a lot.
