DSI Certification Candidate
Still in school or lacking sufficient relevant work experience? You can already start your application with DSI. By registering as a candidate, you’ll be working toward full certification.
What is the difference between “certification candidate” and “certified”?
Candidate-certified
You are registered with DSI, but still need to complete part of your training or gain relevant work experience.
Certified
You meet all the eligibility requirements for your DSI registry.
What do you need to know about your candidate registration?
-
Start you application in MyDSI for the register that at your activities fits. Liver the requested data and the educational outcomes to that you already have. DSI evaluates you application and determines which registration status in addition belongs.
Doubt Do you which register is appropriate? Try the Certification Guide. Will you know how the application process expires? View the steps for the applications for a certification.
-
You work for an organization that is a member of DSI. You will also complete the screening process and agree to abide by the DSI Code of Conduct. The 10 core principles clearly explain what this means for your day-to-day work.
You can find out which additional conditions apply on your certification page.
-
Candidate registration does not automatically mean that you are authorized to perform all tasks on your own.
Do you hold a position subject to the ESMA guidelines, but do not yet meet the required knowledge and experience criteria? If so, you will work under the supervision of a qualified colleague. This may continue for up to four years.
Discuss with your employer what tasks you are allowed to perform and how supervision will be arranged.
-
Yes, the requirement to complete the Continuing Professional Education (PE) program also applies to certification candidates. When you need to start depends, among other things, on your registration date and any prior registration.
View the current PE requirements for your situation. There is currently no PE requirement for the Integrity Registry.
-
Yes, even as a certification candidate, you are listed in the DSI Public Registry. Your registration status indicates that you do not yet meet all the requirements for full certification. This allows clients and employers to verify your status.
-
Have you completed the missing coursework and gained sufficient relevant work experience? Contact DSI to have your status reviewed.
We’ll review what supporting documents are required. Once it has been determined that you meet all the admission requirements, your registration can be upgraded to certified status.
-
No, candidate registration does not constitute full certification. Therefore, do not present yourself as DSI-certified as long as you have candidate status.
