In 2004, NogginLabs continued their successful partnership with Hibernia National Bank, developing another piece in their extensive, performance-based curriculum: the Product Knowledge E-Learning Courses. These new courses resume the primary goal of teaching the Hibernia retail personal banker audience about the products offered at Hibernia in the context of the GAIN sales process, reinforcing key competencies, skills, and behaviors. In total, the new Product Knowledge courses comprise approximately 15 hours of new curriculum and are presented in short modules, each of which is an average of 10-15 minutes of seat time. The audience for the course is Hibernia personal bankers, which are responsible for assessing customers’ needs and actively selling Hibernia products and services. A potential audience size of 5000 learners in 260 Hibernia branches throughout Texas and Louisiana will complete the course.
