About the Gap Programme

While you wait to begin your CFA Level II or III course, and to utilise your time more effectively in the interim, we’ve put together a unique programme consisting of leading investment, regulatory and professional exams that will develop your understanding of the UK financial markets and provide a truly international flavour to your studies.

The addition of these respected exams will enhance your CV and future global employment prospects. The cost of this optional interim programme is equivalent to the price of two SII Diploma training courses. Meaning that your choice of Investment Management Certificate or SII Certificates is provided free of charge. This represents a saving of up to £853.38.

You will complete two papers from the Securities & Investment Institute (SII) Diploma, the UK’s leading post-graduate finance qualification. The papers you can choose from are:

• Bond & Fixed Interest Markets
• Regulation & Compliance
• Interpretation of Financial Statements
• Financial Derivatives
• Fund Management
• Investment Analysis*
• Global Operations Management
• Private Client Investment Advice & Management

PLUS

Investment Management Certificate – the UKSIP (UK Society of Investment Professionals)
qualification recognised by the fund management industry as the entry level qualification of choice if you work in financial analysis and investment management in the UK.

OR

SII Certificates – the SII (Securities & Investment Institute) threshold competency exam designed for individuals involved in advising and dealing in securities and derivatives, as well as managing investments in the UK.
