1 The new ACI Diploma
2 The Financial Markets Academy The Financial Markets Academy (TFMA) is a training company that offers preparation courses and e- learning tools for the ACI exams. TFMA is registered with the CRKBO as a certified training company. TFMA works closely together with the ACI and is, amongst others, a member of the Trainer Consult Group of the ACI. In this respect TFMA is responsible for reviewing the content of the ACI syllabi and for reviewing the exam questions from the candidates perspective. The Financial Markets Association (ACI) is an international organization that strives to be the leading, global association of wholesales financial market professionals by contributing to the market development through education, market practices, technical advice and networking events.
3 The New ACI Diploma In 2015 the ACI will launch a complete new suite of examinations. After already having substantially increased the level of both the ACI Dealing Certificate and the Operations Certificate in 2013, the ACI will go live with the New Diploma in The level of the new version of the ACI Diploma easily stands the comparison with CFA. For dealers working in the treasury department of a dealing room as well as for corporate salesmen, however, the content of the New Diploma is far more relevant than the content of CFA which, in turn, is more relevant for securities traders and for institutional salesmen. Put in other words: the Diploma and CFA are complementary to each other. Compared to the IFID exam which is offered by ICMA, the new ACI Diploma covers a far wider range of topics. The New Diploma consists of two mandatory modules (Units 1 and 2) and one elective module. The mandatory modules cover indepthly each market and instrument which is relevant for treasury dealers and corporate salesmen, i.e. Foreign Exchange, FX Options, Money Market, Interest Rate Derivatives including Credit Derivatives. For the elective modules candidates are free to choose from a range of related topics. The great advantage of the modular approach of the New ACI Diploma compared to the old version of the ACI Diploma is that students can now focus on one topic at the same time instead of having to study a very broad range of topics simultanuously. This will dramatically increase the chance of passing the exam. For each separate Unit the total study time is estimated at 100 hours, including 32 contact hours. Training Courses The Financial Markets Academy (TFMA) offers open training courses for Units 1, 2 and 3.
