Scope: BBVA Group.
BBVA understands training as a commitment
to its teams and sees it as an investment with a
twofold objective: responding to the needs of
customers as well as to the requirements of all
the professionals working for the Group, towards
the end of promoting professional growth.
In this sense, worthy of mention is the major
role played by training in such a global and
heterogeneous organisation as BBVA, as it has
been established as an instrument favouring the
integration of the diversity of its teams.

The importance that BBVA affords training
is made quite evident by the almost €41m it has
invested in the Plan Global de Formación 2008
(Corporate Training Plan 2008).
The plan’s four main lines of action are:
1. To innovate as regards what is offered in the
line of training (content, format and methods),
promoting knowledge of customers’ needs;
2. To foster the development of talent through
professional development;
3. To incorporate training solutions and more
efficient and flexible channels;
4. To respond to the Group’s new needs regarding
global knowledge and competencies.
The new training model revolves basically
around two major areas:
1. Campus BBVA: an area open to knowledge,
made up of 5 schools that provide answers
for the critical competencies that the Group’s
workforce needs to master.
2. E-learning: it is available to all employees and
is a global online learning network through
the Conoce platform.
In 2008, two portals were set up for language
training (English and Spanish).
Of particular note is the training provided on
the Code of Conduct in several of the countries
in which the company operates. Over 30,700
employees have been given training on this subject.
In 2008, the «Corporate Training Plan» in
matters relating to corporate responsibility was
approved. This had been one of the objectives set
out in the CR Report 2007. The plan includes
specific training measures for management staff,
new BBVA employees, teams specialising in risk,
