Financial Markets Certificate

Dathne Xin Yee Tan

In partnership with the Australian Financial Markets Association (AFMA), the Macquarie Business School (MQBS) Financial Markets Certificate provides a benchmark industry-based qualification for individuals working within Australia’s traded financial markets. The Program is designed to suit busy financial professionals with much of the content available online, complemented by live workshops designed to reinforce learning. Successful completion of the MQBS Financial Markets Certificate provides a key milestone for accreditation by AFMA for financial markets professionals. The MQBS Financial Markets Certificate consists of four microcredentials where successful completion of each entitles participants to five (5) credit points at Australian Qualifications Framework Level 9, enabling them to use these credits towards Macquarie Business School’s Graduate Certificate of Finance and, by extension, the Master of Applied Finance. Completion of the certificate provides 20 credit points in total as partial credit towards these two award courses. Over the duration of this program, participants engage with online learning and live workshops. The overall estimated workload for each of the four microcredentials is 75 hours of time on task. This time includes working on assessments, readings, and session participation.
