Treasury Operations and Investment Administration Training
Presentation of the International IAQ™
The International Investment Administration Qualification (International IAQ™) offered by the Securities and Investment Institute (SII) in London is widely acknowledged as the most appropriate qualification for staff engaged in treasury operations, investment administration and custody.
Now your staff can obtain the qualification in Australia.
How the course is offered
The qualification is offered in two ways for Australian staff.- In-House Course. Your financial institution can offer this course on an In-House basis if sufficient numbers of your staff can attend the workshop.
- Cooperative Course. Prominent financial institutions have agreed that persons from other institutions can take part in the course when held on their premises. (This allows organisations which cannot afford to have a large number of staff away from their workplace at the same time — a critical issue for the operations area.)
Each person is provided with high quality study notes, sample exam questions and are able to sit for one assessment for each course.
