The ASF was formed in 1989 to promote the development of securitisation in Australia. It does this through the education of government, regulatory and other authorities, the public, investors and others with an interest or potential interest, both in Australia and overseas, in the benefits of securitisation.
The ASF has recently launched the first specialist qualification for professionals working in the field of securitisation, the Securitisation Professionals Program.
Participants successfully completing the Program, and its assessment, will be eligible for a Diploma of Financial Services FNS50107, a level 5 qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework. As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), the ASF is able to confer this qualification.
This Program has been developed by the ASF in consultation with people who are experts in their field and is intended to be relevant and practical for all those working in the securitisation industry in Australia.
Completion of this program enhances efficiency and increases the market's credibility, both in Australia and overseas. Internationally there is acceptance that industry participants should meet approved industry-developed competencies.
This standard setting is a constructive force in our financial markets. The Securitisation Professionals Program is an integral component of this process, which the ASF has been driving in the Australian financial markets.
The Australian securitisation industry has enjoyed enormous growth over the last 10 years, and the ASF will continue to be a major participant in its future prospects.
The ASF offers participants a choice of two education program:
