Executive Education for the Financial Markets

Students at a seminarThe ICMA Centre has a reputation for providing quality cutting edge executive education for the financial markets. Alongside internationally recognised certificate programmes, we also run general training programmes. These include a series of practical finance workshops for market professionals and simulated trading days. We add value to our programmes not only through our team of professional industry experienced staff but also through our practical approach – “learning by doing”.

ICMA Executive Education

In the financial markets, whilst nothing can be a substitute for hands-on experience, the importance of continuous training must not be overlooked. As part of ICMA's commitment to enhancing professional practice, the Association has, for decades, assisted the market by providing quality educational programmes.


PRMIA Executive Education

Candidates in more than 75 countries are actively pursuing the PRM™ more than any other risk certification programme, anywhere. With PRMIA members in over 155 countries, the PRM™ is also the most broadly recognised designation for risk managers and is the only one to have received public endorsements from several leading firms.

The MSc Financial Risk Management is now accredited by PRMIA. Accreditation by PRMIA is recognition that the MSc Financial Risk Management programme covers at least 70% of the PRM syllabus. Students who complete appropriate courses within the FRM degree will be eligible for exemption from PRM Exams I and II which form a major part of the PRM certificate, and the ICMA Centre provides assistance. For further details, please see PRMIA FAQ'S.
