FISD Professional Certification
The 'Financial
Information Associate' certification, the first formal and
industry-recognized professional accreditation for
practitioners in the global electronic financial information
industry - Designed for candidates who are relatively new to
their chosen careers, perhaps with between 1 and 3 years
experience; although this is only guidance and not a condition
for entry - indeed we encourage more experienced members of
our community to take the exam so you can provide feedback to
us and leadership and inspiration to your more inexperienced
colleagues.

Questions. Since May 1st 2012 FIA Exams have been based on
this new Syllabus and the new questions that relate to it.

and takes into account changes in our industry and also
feedback from those who have already taken the exam. View
the Syllabus.
