MiFID II certification (e-learning)

PwC’s Academy proposes a comprehensive and innovative e-learning suite for professionals seeking an efficient and flexible way to support their MiFID learning initiatives in the context of the CSSF circular 17/665 knowledge and competence requirements.

This learning solution is part of our MiFID II blended learning curriculum.

Our training curriculum is highly flexible in terms of delivery and is structured around 5 fundamental thematic pillars:

• Pillar 1: financial culture including ESG and sustainable finance
• Pillar 2: assets, investment vehicles and products
• Pillar 3: tax, compliance and regulation
• Pillar 4 (for professionals providing investment advice or information about investment products, investment services or ancillary services): portfolio management
• Pillar 5: financial performance

Depending on the professional population considered, each thematic pillar comprises a set of digital tutorials related to the knowledge and competence criteria. Each thematic pillar kicks off with a skill gap assessment enabling the definition of a personalised learning journey given the learner’s results.

The e-learning suite can be complemented by live classroom/webinar sessions on selected topics under the blended learning approach.
