Custom programmes

The 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”.

Here at the ICMA Centre we work with clients to develop bespoke training courses for companies. With our wealth of expertise in the capital markets industry we work with many companies providing tailored courses both on site and at the ICMA Centre.

We provide training consultation to identify your needs, after which we develop the programme/s to meet your objectives.

We run programmes for numerous financial organisations, recent clients include FCA, KBC FP and Bank of China.
