About the CPD course
The Financial Markets Foundation Qualification (FMFQ) is an introductory level programme intended for anyone entering a career in the financial markets. The programme is intended to provide ‘breadth of knowledge’ to make it relevant to people pursuing careers in the front office; middle office and operations areas. The syllabus content places an even emphasis on introducing and explaining the key concepts of each subject area to develop candidates’ practical knowledge and skill sets.
