Overview
The CCL Academy has created three Conduct Rules eLearning modules, each one targeted at a particular subset of staff:

Note – The FCA’s rules require that firms ensure employees understand the practical impact of the Conduct Rules in their own roles. As a result, we recommend that these modules are further supplemented by tailored training to ensure understanding of how the rules apply in the context of the specific job roles of the Senior Managers, Certification Staff or Conduct Staff.
