CAIA is a respected and globally recognised qualification, and frequently used as the benchmark of analysis, application and standards of practice in the alternative investments industry. 75% of candidates who earn their CAIA charter do so in 12 to 18 months.

Known as the gold standard in the investment management profession, the CFA Charter proves that you have a thorough understanding of advanced investment analysis and real world portfolio management skills. It consists of three levels, each building on the knowledge and skills you developed in the previous level.

FRM is a leading certification in financial risk management. Earning the certification proves that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to respond and adapt to critical risk issues. It takes two years to complete, but you’ll also need two years of relevant work experience.

This is an ideal qualification if you’re starting a career in retail or wholesale financial sectors, or if you already work in wholesale operations. It’s globally recognised and FCA appropriate for the operations sector and can also lead into studying for higher level CISI qualifications.

Designed for people working in the securities and derivatives markets, this is an FCA appropriate qualification for the activity of dealing in securities and derivatives, and also meets the ESMA Guideline (MiFID II) for wholesale investment advice in the UK and Europe.
