One World Training Course

The MiFID II: Operational Compliance at The One World Trade Center training course is a unique and highly personalised training course that seeks to provide attendees with a blend of new strategic and operational insights into the new MiFID II framework. The sessions are highly tailored to the individual attendees and as there are a limited number of places available the course allows more interactive discussions between the experts and the attendees. The pre-event MiFID II questionnaire allows us to more precisely identify areas of interest and to increase focus on their particular areas.
