The IFSD provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the financial services sector for non-financial professionals working in the industry. For example, persons working in marketing, operations, HR, accounts, can become much more effective in their respective roles if they had a more authoritative understanding of the industry in the Cayman Islands and the way it works. The course is therefore a strong complement to professional and academic designations such as a CPA, CFA, MBA, qualified attorney, or others.
