Qualitative research and focus group techniques were applied in order to achieve this. Indeed, the first step was to study the literature on professional development by researching databases, library resources, high-level documents, and domestic reports. Afterwards, by holding focus group interviews and consulting with the participants who were experts, a professional education and development plan was designed. The research statistical population (both of academy and bank) included 12 experts who were well acquainted with Human Resource Development in banking industry. Data collection instruments involved interview protocols and questionnaires which were analyzed by the application of a content analysis method. Research findings included identification of job competencies at the level of branch, i.e. bank manager, deputy, chief officer, bank-teller, and caretaker, by applying a model which included both the individual and the organization and aspects of personality, viewpoint, knowledge, and skill. Through application of this two-dimensional model and four-field approach, educational modular courses were developed for each job in accordance with the level of competency required, perceptional, human, or technical. The findings of this research indicated that in order to develop branch managers and staff professionally in monetary and banking fields, competency-based training programs focusing on required skills for each position should be developed. For instance, in modular courses to be attended by the managers and deputies, management and perceptional skills should be highlighted; whereas in case of bank-tellers a more emphasis was put on job competencies and technical skills.
