Course description
International Finance and Administration Qualifications Level 5
The Level 5 IFA is an advanced course for those with existing qualifications.
The core module provides the essential understanding of the regulation of offshore trusts and companies. Students then customise their qualification by selecting at least one optional module. These are available in Financial Reporting and Governance, Fund Administration and Business Management in Practice.
