TRAINING & CONSULTING

ITCB IS THE LEADING BANK CONSULTANCY AND TRAINING COMPANY IN HUNGARY.

The International Training Center for Bankers Ltd. (Bankárképző) was established in late 1988.

We are proud to be the leading bank consultancy and training company in Hungary. Clients of ITCB are from Hungarian banks and financial institutions, business and insurance companies as well as from various governmental authorities. Tasks of ITCB have been accomplished by a strongly committed and highly qualified staff. Our employees, specialists and trainers provide a wide range of economic expertise.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN FEATURES OF ITCB?

The first and most important one is that we do not offer ready-made solutions for our clients but provide unique answers to the questions and recommendations for solving problems raised by the partners. Second – equally important – is the immense network of people and the body of knowledge that we have developed mainly through training. We are proud to state that only a few organisations are embedded in the financial sector in Hungary with such a vast array of academic and practical knowledge.
