What is the FISD FIA:

The Financial Information Associate (FISD FIA) is a globally-recognized professional certification covering the essentials of market data. It provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals for anyone working, either directly in a market data role or alongside others who deal with market data. Earning the FISD FIA is a great goal for those who are relatively new to market data and the capital markets. For more seasoned professionals, the FISD FIA can help fill gaps in knowledge or experience.

What is this two-day classroom course:

FISD has developed an intensive, in-person training course that prepares participants for the FISD FIA certification exam. This course will cover all the elements of the FISD FIA syllabus. Plus, students will benefit from the ability to ask detailed questions of the trainer and hearing anecdotal context for key concepts. Students also receive a 7.5-hour video-based eLearning course. Certain video modules are required viewing before the classroom course while all modules are helpful as a post-classroom study tool.
