“[Teachers Mutual Bank] has used the IFS as its preferred RTO for many years and in particular for our Existing Worker Trainees. The IFS has been so easy to work with and has proven to be very successful as part of our L&D program.

Our trainees have been able to gain a nationally accredited qualification, whilst obtaining valuable on-the-job knowledge and experience, helping them to succeed in their Finance careers now and into the future."

"The IFS has been an invaluable business partner for Mortgage Choice in helping our new and existing representatives gain the required qualifications to perform their roles. The flexibility demonstrated to us by the IFS to assist us with these processes has been fantastic, and the IFS staff members are always approachable, and ready and willing to help.

Having new people complete the Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking) qualification prior to commencing their Induction Course really gives them a solid grounding in the lending fundamentals that they require, and ensures everyone is able to keep up during the course! The ability we have to quickly and efficiently deliver the material to new people means that they can complete the modules very rapidly if required.

As an organisation we have from time-to-time reviewed offerings presented by other providers, but we always come back to the IFS due to their service, flexibility and the quality of their product."

"Here at Police Credit Union we have had an on-going association with the IFS for nearly 10 years.

During this time Linda and her team have done an exceptional job of ensuring that the entire process of distance learning is a professional and easy process for all my staff.

The team is quick to respond to any issues (which are few and far between) and I have never had anything but positive feedback from my staff regarding their modules, assessments and follow-up of questions or concerns.

I fully intend to ensure that our relationship continues with the IFS into the future!"

"We have had a partnership with the IFS to deliver the Certificate IV in Financial Services for 4 years. They have been flexible customising the program to meet our organisational needs, and deliver a truly blended solution.

Establishing open communication channels the IFS has always been open to feedback, and ensures that changes are implemented based on the feedback, in the joint aim of providing participants with a quality learning experience.

Participant feedback is that they appreciate being able to undertake a Nationally Recognised Qualification whilst working, and that the IFS is always responsive and helpful in supporting them to be successful."

"Northern Inland Credit Union chose IFS as its provider for Tier 2 certification, as part of the Financial Services Reform requirements, in 2002.

Impressed by the comprehensive nature of the modules, and the flexibility of the self-paced learning format, Northern Inland then turned to IFS for the provision of Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diploma courses in Financial Services for staff undertaking further study.

The staff of IFS are wonderfully professional; they promptly reply to all queries, and are very helpful in clarifying any content-based issues. We enjoy their continual support in assisting our staff to develop within their positions, and gain new industry-relevant skills. We look forward to our training partnership continuing long into the future."

"Arab Bank Australia has engaged the services of IFS for over 10 years in creating learning and development solutions for our workforce.

The delivery options, educators, flexibility and support has assisted our HR team in administering the financial service programs, resulting in our staff achieving nationally recognised qualifications.

The monthly progress reports provide students and their direct supervisors/managers with adequate time to assess their progress and identify any further requirements in a timely manner.

As a Retail and Commercial Bank, we believe in the merits of providing relevant training to our staff at all levels . It is greatly appreciated when the educational institution chosen ensures a high standard of learning at all times, allowing our staff to continually learn and improve, and provide exceptional customer service to all our customers.

We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the IFS."

"[Teachers Mutual Bank] has partnered with the IFS for many years and continues to do so for our New Entrant Trainees and existing staff members undertaking studies in the Certificate IV in Financial Services, the Diploma in Financial Services – Lending Stream and the high quality FSR Tier 2 Accreditation that they offer. The IFS provides our staff with a structured approach to learning with courses being continually updated to reflect market and legislative conditions.

The tutors, staff and management of the IFS are responsive to our needs as an organisation as well as those of our students. Personally, I can attest that the communication, follow-up and service to our staff is excellent and we feel that we are a truly valued client. To date, our [organisation] has put well over 200 staff members through a course with the IFS and will be recommending further placements in 2010 and beyond."
