Which DSI certification registers are available to professionals?
As a professional working in the investment sector, you can apply for certification in a DSI register. DSI maintains eleven registers, the DSI Integrity register and the 10 job-related registers divided among the ESMA Registers and the Specialist Registers.
The nature of your work determines the choice for the right type of certification. Do you advise clients about investments? Do you have contact with private investors? Do you advise clients, or provide them with information? These and other questions determine which register you should apply for. The DSI certification choice tool can help you make that decision.
Fully registered Certified Professionals listed in the retail and institutional registers have all met the ESMA Guidelines. Through certification and life-long learning, DSI ensures that professionals who inform or advise clients about investments meet at least the minimum requirements for the ESMA Guidelines. Passing the exam shows that you have met the requirements stipulated by the Financial Markets Authority (AFM) as part of the implementation of ESMA policy in the Netherlands. For more information about the ESMA guidelines, see this page.
