Accreditations & CPD

✔️ YOU JOIN THE STA TO BE BETTER

The STA Continued Professional Development Programme (CPD).

Students attending the STA Diploma Part 1 and Part 2 Courses are eligible for CPD points, accredited by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).

Members attending the monthly meetings can apply to the STA office for Certificates of Attendance as part of their CPD self-certification process.

Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) Programme

The STA Diploma Part 1 and Part 2 exams are accredited by IFTA, and members who pass both exams are entitled to be registered as CFTe holders (on payment of a $200 accreditation fee to IFTA). If you are an MSTA and you wish to apply for the CFTe Certificate please click here.

The CFTe programme is run by IFTA not the STA and if you wish to use this route to certification you should apply to IFTA.

The IFTA Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) has replaced DITA I & II, which started in 1996. The program consists of two levels, with the examinations normally being taken at 12-month intervals. There are usually two exam sittings per year. The program is designed to lead onto the Master of Financial Technical Analysis (MFTA).
