Recognition of the CIIA ® Designation in the UK

In July 2007 the CIIA designation gained recognition from the Financial Services Skills Council in the United Kingdom as a Key 2 qualification. The ACIIA now has awarding body status and the CIIA qualification is included on the appropriate examinations list for seven relevant activities that are regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority) in the UK (www.fsa.gov.uk).

Candidates with the CIIA ® designation will need to take a UK specific examination such as those offered by the Securities and Investments Institute and the United Kingdom Society of Investment Professionals (UKSIP) in order to meet the full examination requirements for the aforementioned activities. Details of these examinations can be found on the FSSC website .
