ACI Dealing Certificate

The ACI Dealing Certificate is an excellent introduction course for people working at front-offices of treasury departments of banks and other financial institutions. In the Netherlands passing for the ACI Dealing Certificate exam is one of the requirements to be eligible for registration in the official Treasury Advisor Register. At present, however, there is a gradual shift in the need for expertise from front-office staff to employees who are not directly involved in transacting deals. Because of the fact that an increasing number of transactions are concluded via trading platforms, for instance, it becomes increasingly important that also IT specialists have a thorough understanding of traded instruments and market conventions. Another example are staff-members who are responsible for implementing new regulations in regard to the financial markets. The course has proven to be of great relevance for these target groups too.

This intense training course thoroughly prepares the candidates for the exam. The course has five or six traning days, dependant on the entrance level of the students.
Each training session consists of a short introduction about a core exam subject after which the candidates will be given the opportunity to test the acquired knowledge by answering exam questions that are comparable to those incorporated in the official exam. The trainers will thoroughly elaborate on every question by addressing every alternative, right or wrong.

The course comes with an e-learning tool with, amongst others, over 500 practice questions and an exam simulator. The students are asked to use this tool to prepare for each course day. They can also use the e-learning tool to prepare for the exam. The course also comes with the textbook A Guide to Treasury in Banking that covers the whole curriculum of the course.
