When it comes to designing a learning and development curriculum, we apply the 70:20:10 rule. Essentially, 70% of learning is experiential on-the-job, 20% learnt from peers, and 10% from formal learning events. Our training events are designed to accelerate and amplify the skills required for your role and longer-term career development.  
As an example, we will help you work toward any relevant professional qualification aligned to your role and your chosen programme. These include: 

• IOC: Investment Operations Certificate
