SMCR Training Courses
The Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) is a key regulation that has applied to all banking, insurance and financial services firms since December 2019.
Our library of e-learning courses helps raise awareness and comprehension of the conduct rules. They also ensure a deeper understanding of the practical application of specific rules directly relating to each employee, as required by the FCA.
We offer versions of each course tailored for Banking, Building Societies, Insurance and Solo-regulated firms (Core, Enhanced, Limited scope).

Introduction to SMCR
The UK's financial services sector was rocked by scandals ranging from miss-selling to market manipulation over the past decade. This led to the launch of the SMCR.
Introduction to SMCR will help your employees gain a basic understanding of how these conduct rules affect them and your firm.
SMCR Overview
SMCR Overview provides your employees with a more thorough understanding of the key steps needed to comply with the conduct rules.
Statements of Responsibilities, regulator pre-approvals, reasonable steps to stop breaches and duty of responsibility to identifying and assessing Certified Persons.
Fit & Proper Assessments
In order to perform a Senior Management Function (SMF), Senior Managers need approval from the FCA and, for dual regulated firms, the PRA.
Our SMCR Fit and Proper Assessments Training Course explains how regulators assess fitness and propriety in senior management.
Conduct Rules for Senior Managers
Senior Managers must comply with the FCA's five Individual Conduct Rules (ICRs), four Senior Managers Rules (SMRs) and take 'reasonable steps' to prevent breaches.

Conduct Rules for Certified Persons
Certified Persons are individuals in roles outside of senior management who could still cause significant harm to a firm or its customers by breaching SMCR rules.
