Custom FIX Training Courses

Often times organisations already use FIX for certain function (e.g. trading), or asset class (e.g. equities), or for certain markets but plan to expand that capability to support new functions (e.g. pre-trade, post-trade), new asset classes, or for infrastructure improvement (e.g. advanced routing in multi-market environments). This would require training on specific topics related to the project at hand.

That is where our custom courses are useful. Please contact us and we will work with you to define the agenda and identify the best method to deliver the training.
