Enhance your knowledge and advance your career with courses designed to provide individuals or teams with proficiency and practical skills essential to facilitating futures trade processing.

The content for each certificate course is developed based on input from futures industry working groups and subject matter experts. This ensures that course work is relevant and applicable to real-world scenarios and offers learners a unique, cost-effective eLearning option that isn’t available elsewhere. Although the course work is tailored for futures industry professionals who are fully immersed in daily operations, the content also is valuable to those who interact with futures but are not exclusively focused on the futures unit – from customer and brokerage staff in the front office, client services, risk and compliance departments, to customers and account managers that use give ups to market regulators that benefit from a deeper understanding of how the industry works.

Learners will:

• Gain a deep understanding of the critical aspects to futures trade processing.
• Rapidly build specialized skills that employers need now in a globally dispersed workforce.
• Be able to validate current experience and competence in the derivatives industry and demonstrate a commitment to personal growth.

Managers will:

• Be able to more effectively assess/Identify job applicants’ skills, recruit top talent, and attract a highly skilled workforce.
• Have increased confidence that applicants who have passed the certification program will have the skills they need to do the job.
• Benefit from having skilled employees who perform tasks more effectively, leading to more efficient trade processing and reduced risk for the business.
• Be able to quickly deploy training to a globally distributive workforce.

Whether you’re an end customer, experienced futures professional, considering a career switch, or just starting out in the futures sector, FIA-IFM’s Get Smart Micro- Credential and Certification Program provides a path to achieving professional goals and advancing your career.
