EASILY COMPLETE REGULATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION
ONLINE 24/7

The aim of these e-learning modules is to be able to acquire knowledge independent of time and place.

The e-learning modules are suitable for beginners, advanced users, and also career changers. With the learning modules, users are introduced to the topics by means of theory and practical examples and can test what they have learned by means of a test module.
As an independent asset manager, you must regularly fulfill your regulatory continuing education obligations. We would like to help you with this and offer you the opportunity to complete the required e-learning modules free of charge.
The mandatory modules for asset managers include AMLA and due diligence as well as Fundamentals and Execution Only according to FinSA. Depending on your business model, you may need to complete additional FinSA modules such as Transactional Investment Advice, Comprehensive Investment Advice or Asset Management. Please note that these modules only fulfill the training requirement for client advisors and compliance officers.
As a qualified manager, you must provide evidence of at least 1/2 day of further training in addition to the above-mentioned courses. The area in which you do this further training is deliberately not specified by the regulator and is up to you, but should have something to do with your profession.
IGUV offers its workshops here, for example, which cover numerous topics, with the program tailored to the individual wishes of the participants. The workshops meet the requirements for professional and technical training.
