## Description

Training and Competence (T&C) forms an important part of UK regulations under the FCA. These rules apply, in particular, to employees in financial services who deal with or on behalf of customers. The T&C regime aligns with the Principles for Business which requires firms to take reasonable care to control their affairs. This includes arranging for employees engaged in a regulated activity to develop competence. Our Training and Competence Course explains the FCA's rules for the training and competence of staff in the financial services sector.

- Be aware that a gap in financial sector employment could lead to an employee needing to be reassessed as competent
