About this course
The Level 3 Providing Financial Services (Retail Banking Pathway) Apprenticeship has been designed with employers in Wales to equip apprentices with the skills and knowledge that they need to be able to support with managing the day-to-day operations within a retail banking environment. This apprenticeship programme is designed to provide a robust vocational route to a successful career in the fast-paced retail banking sector.
This programme is suitable for those seeking a developing career in retail banking, or for those wishing to upskill themselves to take on a more responsible retail banking role, or for retail banking professionals who want an accredited qualification to affirm their existing experience in the field.
