The Elementary Vocational Qualification Exam for Banking Professionals for the First Half of 2016 was successfully held in 230 cities across China on May 28 and 29. The Exam involves two subjects –Banking Laws and Regulations and Comprehensive Abilities, and Professional Banking Practices which is further divided into five professional categories, namely, Risk Management, Individual Financial Management, Corporate Credit, Individual Loans, and Banking Management.

To strengthen the exam organization and disciplines, 20-plus inspection teams organized by China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC), local banking regulatory bureaus, China Banking Association (CBA), and China Banker Institutes (CBI) went to the cities concerned for on-site check and inspection. During the Exam, CBA leaders also visited ATA and inspected the ongoing conditions in a real-time manner through the remote video monitoring system.

To ensure the smoothness of the Exam, ATA had done lots of preliminary tests and made full preparations in technology, system, organization and operation, and dispatched technical backbones, exam supervisors and discipline inspectors to each site for preliminary preparations. Thanks to the efforts to strengthen the discipline, the Exam went on smoothly.

According to the plans and arrangements of CBA and CBI, the Intermediate-level Vocational Qualification Exam for Banking Professionals for the First Half of 2016 will take place on June 4 and 5.
