FMA e-learning System Information
Overview
The FMA e-learning Certificate in Fund Management is a web-based 
award for individuals within the fund administration business.


The Certificate aims to meet the needs of the FMA membership 
for industry-specific training and addresses subjects such as the roles 
and obligations of various parties, valuations/pricing and regulation.


The certificate aims to satisfy a demand for this type of information 
and allows candidates to work in their own time and at their own pace.


Why is it important?
The FMA recognises that up-to-the-minute learning, and access 
to industry-specific information are increasingly important to assist 
individuals in the industry in dealing with complex technical situations. 
The e-learning Certificate directly supports the acquisition 
of expertise within our industry.


Who should enrol?
New entrants, those with little formal training in fund management 
or administration, and those whose roles support or are adjacent 
to fund management will gain a great deal from working 
through the course.


Course Content
The course is divided into a number of specific modules backed 
up with a set of multiple-choice self-tests. Users are able to 
provide evidence of completion of the various modules through 
records kept by the System Administrator. The course material 
provides a valuable reference source for users once the course 
has been completed.


The course content is split into modules, which you can view 
in any order. It is recommended that the user starts 
with the Basics, chapters 1 & 2.


The other modules cover:
* Roles & responsibilities
* Dealing
* Valuations & Pricing
* Income Distribution
* Documentation
* additional advanced ideas and information


Users can either study the entire course first, and then take 
a complete test, or they can concentrate on a few modules 
at a time, then attempt part of a test, move on to other topics, 
and then come back to the test again later.


Testing
Test scores are viewable only by the user to whom they relate, 
and the System Administrator, and the FMA Committee Member 
responsible for training. Test scores are used to benchmark 
knowledge levels within the firms, and the industry as a whole. 
Test scores are not linked to individuals unless the individual 
gives their permission.


Certification
Paper certificates can be produced on request, as evidence 
for completion of the tests.
