Candidates Employers FISD Professional Certification

For Training

Educational Resources

How candidates acquire the knowledge needed for passing the test is entirely at their own discretion. If a candidate believes they have enough knowledge based on their existing experience they may elect to take the test without any further training or education. However, in most cases candidates will either require education on all aspects of the Syllabus or most likely on parts.

FISD has liaised closely with a number of training organizations and these third party groups will provide courses and/or resources which will provide access to the knowledge set required to pass the test.

At this first stage in the development of formal certification FISD is not conducting a formal accreditation of training organizations. It is therefore essential that candidates check the precise content of any training course and the credentials of the training organization.
