At Fixnox we have over 15 years of experience training traders, programmers, support staff and even business managers how FIX is used, best practices around it, and how various flows can be streamlined.
We offer three FIX protocol courses: Universal course is conducted regularly online & in different cities around the world, while Advanced and Custom courses are conducted on demand or for single client.
This course is designed for integration engineers, programmers, trading desk support staff, system architects, business managers, and traders to learn about all aspects of FIX protocol system design, deployment, integration with trading systems, and on-going support.
Universal course is held in different cities of the Unites States, Europe, and Asia Pacific on regular basis. Please see Schedule of Training Classes page for dates, locations and registration information.

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.
