ATMIA has launched what it says is the first-ever industry-endorsed online training certification for ATM operators (Financial Institutions and IADs) at its U.S. conference in Orlando, Fla. The new member training program consists of over 100 sessions divided into five courses that members can access individually or in teams. The material was based on intensive global research into current ATM operational practices and procedures.
"The ATMIA Academy eTraining program will take ATM operators to a whole new level of professionalism, benchmarked against current international practice," said Mike Lee, CEO of ATMIA. "It will enable ATM businesses to ensure their operational team has the right level of skills and knowledge for providing 24 x 7 professional service to customers."
The courses, which reflect today’s industry best practices, include:
ATMIA will offer a certificate of completion for each course but in order to earn the International ATM Operators Certification, all courses must be completed.
"Launching the ATMIA Academy is a great way to commemorate our 15 year anniversary US conference," Lee said. "We have worked hand-in-hand with our members to create a robust body of knowledge that we now can share with members who are new to the industry and want to learn or who want to enhance their knowledge. This type of certification will increase the credibility, visibility and professionalism of our industry."
