IBP Should Modernize itself !

Now is the era of e-learning, and IBP being an organization aimed to educate bankers professionally should keep pace along-with the coming technologies. Institute of Bankers Pakistan should launch e-books version of all its publications which should be available for download or they should use their website to launch some e-learning programs. There is a dire need of a discussion forum of IBP where all the examinees can share their experiences, can post their questions, can get their papers solved with the help of others and can discuss various matters. Such an online platform would definitely boost the access to banking information but would also help the examinees to interact with each other more effectively.

Now a days all bankers are well equipped with the computer and internet knowledge and would definitely use such online resources to educate themselves. Recently, IBP has launched their website which give it a refreshing look, but the material in the website is almost the same. They should also focus on website development by introducing some other options.

Here comes a point in mind that IBP is avoiding such steps to keep reaping the revenue it gets from the training workshops, sales of books etc. But in my view they can also earn from such resources by introducing advertisements of various banks on their websites, they can promote their workshops more effectively and there is always a room to generate revenue from such activities.

 I strongly recommend IBP to think upon such latest avenues of training and they should plan to launch such facilities in future.
