Creating career advantage
The PFS provides learning routes for all its members to give them the confidence they need as they begin their careers
Financial services professionals deal in technical products. Whatever your area of interest, you need at least some understanding of how the market works, how products are designed, what they are intended to do and how customers can be best served.
Entry-level learning often begins with short courses and foundation qualifications. Success in examinations and the right to use a designation are indicators of commitment, application and ability. They are increasingly valued by employers and clients as signifying professionalism.
PFS designations and CII qualifications command respect throughout the profession thanks to their consistent and rigorous standards. Accompanying technical qualifications, which could progress to MSc level, there are meetings and technical seminars designed to enhance your business and professional skills.
You can use qualifications and other learning as a way to map out a career path identifying and acquiring knowledge as you need it.
