[USPRwire, Wed May 05 2010] Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to its Branch Security training program for 2010. Achieving Branch Security Excellence has been revised as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s ongoing commitment to providing the most up-to-date and pertinent financial services information as the banking industry enters a new decade.

According to experts, 70 percent of all bank fraud cases originate in a branch, 75 percent of all safety violations occur in the branch and 83 percent of all branch employees are not prepared to handle robberies and other emergencies. However, through training, branch personnel will learn know how to protect the bank and its customers and how to calmly handle an emergency situation while remaining professional and following bank policy.

Achieving Branch Security Excellence, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, is a computer-based, distance learning program that can be delivered via Internet, Intranet or CD. The program teaches all aspects of branch safety and security using easy-to-understand language in an interactive, self-paced format. Participants learn from their own perspective, with a curriculum customized to their position. Achieving Branch Security Excellence covers all areas of Branch Security including: opening and closing procedures, robbery prevention and procedures, bomb threats, kidnappings, fires and medical emergencies. Additionally, participants will be prepared to deal with cons and frauds from customers, and to be on the lookout for internal fraud.
