CRR/CRD Training & Change Management

A CRR III training course covers the key changes to the Capital Requirements Regulation: the revised standardised approach for credit risk (SA-CR), new credit risk mitigation rules, the introduction of the output floor, tightened requirements for operational risk, CVA risk and leverage ratio, and new Pillar III disclosure obligations. The course also explains transitional provisions and the phased implementation timeline through 2030.

CRR III governs quantitative capital requirements (Pillar I) and applies directly across all EU member states as a regulation. CRD VI addresses qualitative governance requirements and must be transposed into national law. CRD VI strengthens fit-and-proper requirements for management bodies, introduces ESG risk into supervision and enhances enforcement powers. Training should cover both frameworks as they form the EU Banking Package together.

CRR/CRD training serves various target groups: Board members and senior management need strategic overviews of capital planning. Risk managers and regulatory reporting specialists require deep technical knowledge of calculation methods. Compliance officers must understand new CRD VI governance requirements. Internal audit and controlling need examination competence. Operational staff benefit from practical case studies for daily implementation.

Effective regulatory change management combines subject matter expertise with structured change support. Key success factors include early stakeholder engagement, clear communication strategies that translate regulatory changes into understandable terms, a modular training approach using blended learning, identification and empowerment of internal change agents, and continuous measurement through KPIs such as training completion rates, compliance incidents and employee satisfaction.

ADVISORI develops institution-specific training concepts in five phases: needs analysis and learning objective definition, development of tailored curricula with practical banking cases, implementation of supporting change management strategies, delivery by experienced regulatory experts, and final evaluation with continuous improvement. Our trainers bring years of banking regulation experience, combining theoretical expertise with hands-on implementation skills.

ADVISORI offers flexible training formats: in-person workshops for intensive sessions, online seminars for distributed teams, blended learning programmes combining e-learning modules with live sessions, executive briefings for boards and supervisory boards, and train-the-trainer programmes to build internal training capability. All formats are tailored to your institution’s specific CRR III/CRD VI requirements.

CRR/CRD training effectiveness is measured on four levels: Reaction (participant satisfaction and training quality), Learning (knowledge tests and certifications), Transfer (application in daily work, measured through internal audits and process quality), and Results (reduction in compliance breaches, audit findings and regulatory risks). This measurement framework helps demonstrate ROI to boards and supervisory authorities.
