Investment Administration Qualification

Investment Administration Qualification

The IAQ™ is a practitioner-led programme for administration and operations staff. It equips you with an overview of the financial services industry and its regulation. The first module, Introduction to Securities and Investment (ISI), provides you with an awareness of the industry; the second module, on regulation, introduces you to the regulatory framework, and the third module is selected from a large number of options which reflect the specialist areas of financial services operations and administration in which you work.

The aims of the IAQ™ programme are:

• to test and make sure you understand the nature of the industry in which you work
• to examine your knowledge of the financial services industry and the regulatory framework that underpins it
• to assess your understanding of the processes required to administer the specific area in which you are employed
• to ensure you successfully complete the programme and gain recognition.

Laurence Seeff - Head of IAQ™ training

"The IAQ™ covers a wide range of introductory financial services topics for individuals who are not necessarily at the front end of the business. Delegates can benefit from the broad range of areas covered, thereby giving them a great overview of the financial services industry in just six days! Organisations can also benefit as the IAQ™ educates staff by providing an excellent overview of the many areas in which a company operates and ensures staff are industry wise."  

In a nutshell …

"If I was a delegate I would sit the IAQ™ to gain a good overview of the financial services industry whilst earning an industry recognised qualification."
