Module 1: UK Compliance & Conduct Standards Certification (160 hours)

Module 2: The Fundamentals of UK Investments, Risk & Taxation (210 hours)

is a 429 CPD hour combined programme that provides a robust foundation in three essential areas of modern finance: regulatory frameworks and professional integrity, investment practices and taxation, and the structure and function of global securities and investment markets.

Participants begin by exploring the regulatory landscape governing financial services in the United Kingdom, gaining insights into the roles of key bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), alongside core principles of ethical conduct and professional integrity required to protect consumers.

The curriculum then delves into critical investment practices, examining the assessment of risks across various investment classes, the influence of taxation on investment decisions, and the strategies for planning, constructing, and reviewing diverse portfolios.

Finally, the programme offers a comprehensive introduction to the structure, participants, instruments, and mechanisms of securities and investment markets. Topics include equity and debt instruments, market infrastructure, trading conventions, and the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that influence asset prices. Designed for both recent graduates and seasoned professionals, this integrated course equips participants with the essential knowledge and practical understanding needed for a successful career in wealth and investment management.

It equips learners with the foundational knowledge required to understand financial instruments, market operations, and the economic forces that shape investment behaviour.
