Certification Programs
Financial Industry
Competency Standards (FICS) Programs
OVERVIEW
The Financial Industry Competency Standards (FICS) is a
comprehensive quality assurance framework with a certification and
accreditation system that aims at raising the quality of the
financial workforce and training providers.
Risk Management Institute at NUS has been appointed as the Lead Provider for the Risk Management segment of the FICS-accredited programs.
RMI's ROLE
As a Lead Provider, RMI aims to
(i) Deliver a suite of high quality training and assessment
programs that are FICS-accredited by the Institute
of Banking and Finance (IBF), for all the competency units required for all job roles in the allocated job families under the FICS framework.
(ii) Make available competency assessment
programs to their trainees as well as persons who do not opt for training or who underwent training by another provider and issuing Statements of Attainment to successful candidates.
(iii) Provide consultancy or advisory services on mutually agreed terms to financial institutions in their adoption of FICS. This would comprise the alignment of their existing
programs with FICS or the augmentation of existing in-house training and/or assessment
programs to address gaps.
(iv) Provide general information on career opportunities and pathways and facilitating the placements of new entrants who have been issued SOAs in the relevant industry segment(s).
