Alison Wright is E-learning Programme Manager within NHS Education South Central's Quality, Practice Learning Team.

Ever wondered who processes and authorises your card transactions when you shop at JJB Sports, Adams, Selfridges or a host of other retail stores? It will be the people at Fidelity National Information Services (FNIS), a major outsourcer of credit and debit card services and one of the world’s leading providers of banking technology. Processing 40m credit and debit cards, supporting 50m card accounts and authorising £78bn of card transactions on behalf of over 6000 financial institutions and high street retailers requires a highly trained staff. The Training Foundation’s TAP® Learning System is not only helping FNIS's Birmingham based training team to standardise the quality of training delivery to call centre staff, but also provide a blueprint for an expanded range of programmes across the company.
