Securitisation Professionals Program

The ASF has been successfully delivering the Introduction to Securitisation course for a number of years. This course has been redeveloped as the ASF Securitisation Professionals Program, a two day intensive workshop course mapped to the Diploma in Financial Services FNS50107, a level 5 qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

The Program provides a succinct overview of the structure of the Australian securitisation industry, how it operates and its development. It is structured to provide participants with an understanding of how securitisation can be used by originators to create securities suitable for institutional investors.

Throughout the Program, participants will gain an understanding of the application of the theory via the examples provided, and by participating in the workshop case study. The application of these skills is measured via the assessment, and its successful completion will leave participants well placed to effectively contribute to the industry and to their organisation's standards for meeting client requirements.

There are nine specialist competencies that will be achieved, in addition to four industry core units, which are compulsory generic units that will be achieved by workplace skills forms.

The ASF has intentionally developed its Program at Diploma level to assist members in meeting the AFSL holder's requirements under ASIC Regulatory Guidance 164 (formerly known as Policy Statement 164) for the appropriate training of its representatives.

The Program is also open to participants who do not wish to achieve a Diploma - they are able to enrol without the assessment option, but can receive the materials and attend the workshop.

Participants undertaking the Securitisation Professionals Program to gain a Diploma of Financial Services FNS50107, will need to undertake:

  1. Self-Study of the ASF Securitisation Professionals Manual
  2. An online multiple-choice knowledge exam
  3. Participation in the two-day workshop and related activities
  4. Preparation of a final recommendation report and audio recording
  5. Completion of the industry core units

There are also four alternative pathways by which participants can achieve this qualification:

  1. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
  2. Assessment (incorporating individual assessment) only
  3. Recognition of qualifications
  4. Completion via partial previous study of the ASF Introduction to Securitisation Program
