Martin Day, IFS School of Finance vice-principal, said: "The Professional Certificate in Banking is an industry benchmark qualification for those starting out in, or aspiring to, a management career in financial services. In working with the FLA we have been able to tailor the qualification to make sure it meets the needs of the asset finance industry.
