The FMFC certificate is a two and one half day taught course with pre-course reading for those who wish to review algebra and statistics. It is delivered in ten sessions with two additional 60 minute review sessions at the end of days one and two. On the afternoon of the third day candidates sit the exam, which consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Successful candidates will be granted the FMFC Certificate accredited both by ICMA and the University of Reading.
The Certificate places an even emphasis on introducing and explaining the key concepts of each subject area and then developing practical knowledge and skills of each area. This reflects the fact that it is both introductory, requiring the introduction and explanation of key concepts, but also intended for market practitioners requiring applied thinking.
The FMFC is intended for job starters in a wide range of job functions and areas. They should have a good
command of English and be able to assimilate a compact programme within a condensed period.
The FMFC syllabus is organised around three broad subject areas with a final case study to consolidate the learning:
I. Overview of Financial Markets and Participants: Explore the nature of savings and flow of funds in an economy and the principle participants and their motivations.
II. The Main Financial Securities: the focus here is on the understanding the principle asset classes and basic valuation models.
III. Exam Review: here we will review the content in light of current events.
