FIBA, a Florida based trade association of international banks, said it offers targeted training and e-learning to the banking industry.

According to a release, the latest addition to the FIBA offering is the International Trade Finance course. Based on a series of modules which cover eight areas of trade finance, the course covers Export Letters of Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, Structuring and Monitoring Trade Loans, and International Payment Terms. The course is offered in both English and Spanish.

"In order for the banking industry to accompany the anticipated growth in U.S. exports over the next 5 years, we will need to train more professionals in the field, and enhance the skills of those already in the business," said Patricia Roth, FIBA's Executive Director. "This online course fits both the academic needs and the demanding work schedules of financial professionals who travel or who don't have "in person" access to quality training courses."

"FIBA has been a leading organization in training and education for many years. With the addition of e-learning, FIBA is now able to meet the needs of banks around the world with respect to practical training and sharing best practices," said John Rodriguez, President of FIBA.

FIBA also offers a Certification program in Anti Money Laundering through its FIBA Anti Money Laundering Institute, in partnership with Florida International University
