Overview

With the preservation of a strong consumer protection focus by the Central Bank, ‘Complaints Handling’ and ‘Treating Customers Fairly’ (under the Consumer Protection Code) is a priority for customer/consumer-facing firms. The manner in which consumers and customers are treated will be the subject of continued supervision and enforcement work by the Central Bank. Using current case studies, this course is essential for firms wishing to demonstrate their understanding of, and compliance with, these important principles and integrate these into their businesses and culture. This course covers the Financial Services Ombudsman’s complaints procedures. This course will also be of benefit to MiFID firms as there is no underlying rule on how these firms must handle complaints under the MiFID Regulations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
