FELLOW MEMBER

This is a 100 hours Premium Programme designed to develop future FCC leaders including through coaching & mentoring for 5-years post-completion. It dovetails with the Professional Certificate in FCC for Private Banking & Securities.

This course is designed for senior compliance staff desirous of taking on senior leadership positions in the FCC space. Becoming a Fellow member entitles use of the designation FSFCCA, a badge of commitment, achievement and resulting status.

The approach of the Fellow programme is like none other in the FCC space! We look at FCC leadership as requiring a broad range of technical and management skills and also that leaders have the right broad and mature perspective in the context of the FCC space. And also need ongoing coaching & mentoring to fully realise their true potential as a successful leader.

In order to keep the Programme cost to the minimum (in line with our Mission), we have adopted eLearning courses from Udemy (management) and FINRA (ethics and conflicts). Udemy courses come with lifetime access and FINRA courses come with one year’s online access. Evidence of completion of these courses is a prerequisite to commencing the SFCCA FCC Perspective Builder readings/examination and the two written Assignments. Post-completion there is 5-year access to coaching and mentoring from the SFCCA Executive Director.

The FCC Perspective Builder is a series of regulatory content and thought leadership international articles/papers handpicked for their learning value and collated into a PDF handout for study. The auto-proctored online examination is based on this reading list.

Clearing the SFCCA Professional examination is a prerequisite even if completed on the “Accelerated Path” (Joint Fellow-Professional programme).

We have the necessary written permissions where required including from FINRA (finra.org).
