ifs School of Finance
The ifs School of Finance was founded in 1879 and it provides financial education to financial services professionals all over the world.
The CeMAP® qualification has been reviewed and updated to meet the requirements identified by the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC). CeMAP® is accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), and incorporated into the National Qualifications Framework at level 3.
A choice of ways to study!
At ICS we believe that you should be able to decide not just when and where you study, we also believe that you should be able to determine how you study. Therefore, you can study your CeMAP® qualification in a variety of ways with ICS. You can enrol on the full course or you can enrol on the individual papers at a time.
We also give you the option to include a Competence Development Tool which will aid you in your qualification and continual development.
What is CDT?
Competence Development Tool (CDT) for CeMAP®
