ACI Dealing Certificate Exam Preparation Training Course

The ACI Dealing Certificate Exam Preparation Training Course equips treasury dealers, sales and trading staff, middle and back office professionals, and central bank and financial institution employees with a structured review of foreign exchange, money markets, and related derivatives, market conventions, risk principles, and professional conduct standards, together with the exam practice needed to prepare with confidence for the ACI Dealing Certificate offered by ACI Financial Markets Association. In banks, central banks, investment firms, sovereign and public investment funds, and corporate treasuries, professionals working in or alongside financial markets must understand how instruments are quoted, priced, settled, and risk-managed, and must conduct themselves in line with recognized standards of market integrity. The ACI Dealing Certificate is widely recognized as a foundation qualification demonstrating this practical knowledge. The course reviews the main areas of the certificate in a practical, calculation-focused way. Participants review basic interest rate calculations, including day count conventions, simple and compound interest, discount factors, yield conversions, and forward-forward rates, and cash money market instruments, including deposits, certificates of deposit, treasury bills, commercial paper, and repurchase agreements. The program then covers foreign exchange spot markets, cross rates, outright forwards, forward points, FX swaps, and non-deliverable forwards, money market derivatives, including forward rate agreements, futures, overnight index swaps, and interest rate swaps, and an introduction to options. Participants also review benchmark reform and risk-free rates, market, credit, settlement, liquidity, and operational risk principles, settlement processes and confirmation practices, and the ACI Model Code and related global market conduct standards, and they practice exam-style questions, calculations, and a full practice exam with detailed review. The course is delivered through concise concept reviews, worked calculations, dealing simulations, conduct case studies, practice questions, and a mock exam. Participants leave with a formulas and market conventions reference sheet, a set of worked calculation examples, a market conduct quick reference guide, a bank of practice questions, a personal study plan, and a mock exam performance analysis. Exam content, format, and registration requirements are set by ACI Financial Markets Association and should be confirmed through its official sources.
