Barclays launch learning portal for Wealth Academy

Barclays has launched a learning portal for employees within its wealth management business.

The learning portal was created by Futuremedia, working in partnership with Barclays, for the Barclays Wealth Academy. The portal carries learning content from within and outside the Barclays organisation and is designed to provide just-in-time access to knowledge and best practice.

Paul Rudd, Director of the Wealth Academy said, "We are delighted to announce the launch of this initiative, which will help our wealth managers provide up-to-date, technically correct advice and excellent client service.

"The portal has been implemented at great pace - in only six weeks, which is a record for the creation of a sophisticated learning solution within Barclays, but everything we have done has been validated at senior level by the business. The quality of the end product is a tribute to the rigorous design processes that have been employed, and to our close relationship with the team from Futuremedia. They responded with great professional ability to a complex and difficult task."

The wealth management business is part of Barclays Private Clients division which offers a range of financial services to Barclays high net worth clients, including private banking, estate planning and stockbroking.
