Academy

The digital revolution is changing the future of banking—increasingly, Banking is Technology. Financial Service firms are becoming defined by how they use technology to deliver outstanding customer experiences.

All this calls for a highly capable technology workforce with a strong engineering culture that is driven by a continuous, clear learning and development strategy to prepare for the future of banking. This also requires teams to innovate, collaborate, and provide ideas to continually evolve the client experience and create new products.

At aXess Academy, we aim to upskill and reskill technologists for the future of banking, and cultivate organisational agility and resilience through experiential learning.

Why us

Experiential Learning

With the co-location with aXess Labs, our technologists will have the opportunity to access and learn from experimentation done through the Labs and apply what they have been taught to solve real-world challenges through Hackathons or as part of the Labs extended developer network. Expect to dabble in Emerging Technologies or the latest technology trends!

Blended and Hands-On Experience

A combination of instructor-led and digital curriculum. All our classes come with practical sessions and hands-on experience: from spinning up your own environment to coding and even creating frameworks!

Community of Learners

Technical communities based on topics/themes for exchanging ideas, development, and best practices across the bank.

Enabling Engineering Careers

Engineer Career Enablement puts our engineers at the center of their career development. It removes blockers and creates a space and focus for them to invest in themselves. It takes into account the uniqueness of various roles commonly encountered in an Agile organisation.

This enables us to build a great product organisation and reward high-performing engineers, as well as attract great talent.

Fresh Graduate

Graduate programme that bakes in concepts of Agile, experiential project-based learning through bite-sized technical training. By the end of the programme, graduates are expected to have developed a fully functioning banking application using full stack technology. This is taught in an incremental fashion as part of their project-based learning.

Technologist

Induction programme which covers our technology strategy, portfolio and roadmaps for technologists of different levels. This has served as a catalyst for rapid cultural integration and development of a shared vision and goals across the organisation.
