Vanquis Bank and Intelligencia Training are to roll out intelligence analysis training to more of the bank’s employees, following the success of a pilot scheme.

Late last year, the bank embarked on a staff development programme, utilising their Apprenticeship Levy to offer Intelligencia’s Level 4 Higher Apprenticeship in Intelligence Operations. The initial cohort comprised a select group of 12 delegates, all of whom work in fraud identification or risk management.

Such was the success of the programme, that the bank is set to offer the training to more employees, safe in the knowledge that the intelligence training received will be on a par with that delivered to government agencies.

“Collaborative working was what the apprenticeship was all about. We’ve been so pleased with the result that the training will be offered to more employees. What has been exceptional is how the delegates have been able to apply what they learnt to their roles in fraud detection.

“Many of the attendees hadn’t been in a learning environment for a long time – yet Intelligencia provided support that went over and above what we expected – meaning we had a 100% completion rate. The knowledge and credibility of the trainer was outstanding.

“Intelligencia have made the Apprenticeship process seamless for us and meant our Apprentices have been well supported and guided through the programme.”
