Fundamentals that count

According to Art. 6 of the Swiss Financial Services Act (FIDLEG), client advisors must demonstrate the required expertise and relevant rules of conduct. Velaw offers practical training courses that convey these requirements in a compact and understandable manner. Our initial training is accredited and recognized by all registration offices.
