LRN earns global recognition for financial services courses

Today

LRN has received new accreditations for its financial services compliance courses from three major international bodies.

The Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI), the Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore (IBF), and The CPD Certification Service have each recognised a range of courses provided by LRN.

The accreditations are described by LRN as reinforcing the educational quality, credibility, and applicability of its training materials. The company has stated that these recognitions are especially relevant as organisations seek to strengthen ethical cultures, manage risk, and respond to regulatory demands within the financial services sector.

Course quality

The courses supported by these globally recognised accrediting bodies provide our learners with assurance that the content is comprehensive and fit for purpose," said Matt Plass, Head of Markets at LRN Corporation. "Accreditation confirms that each course meets defined benchmarks for educational quality, structure, and outcomes, demonstrating LRN's support for regulatory readiness, professional growth, and ethical decision-making at every level within an organisation. Our library of accredited courses only continues to grow, helping organisations support employee development and deliver a culture of ethical decision-making."

The new accreditations extend across multiple geographies and standards. According to LRN, the CISI currently accredits 13 of its courses, with an additional 10 expected to gain recognition soon. Over 40 titles are accredited by the IBF for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, and 40 courses are undergoing accreditation by The CPD Certification Service. The first CPD-certified courses will be available in July, with more to be added throughout the year.

LRN's Financial Services Library provides training relevant both globally and regionally, allowing organisations to select content appropriate for their specific risk profiles, workforce compositions, and cultural needs. The company states that the library comprises over 90 courses and learning assets, addressing more than 350 laws and regulations across North America, EMEA, APAC, and global markets.

Broader compliance coverage

The training supports both mandatory compliance requirements and broader learning initiatives, targeting a variety of financial services roles. These include operational staff on the front line, professionals in asset management, banking, and those working within insurance audit functions.

Delivery of the accredited courses takes place through the company's Catalyst platform, which includes programme management tools as well as reporting functions aimed at supporting organisations in administering and monitoring their compliance training efforts.

LRN states that these accreditations represent more than external recognition. They are seen as part of a wider mission to assist organisations in encouraging ethical behaviour, achieving regulatory compliance, and fostering cultures focused on values and resilience.

Recognition from these accrediting bodies is described by the company as confirmation of its continued commitment to providing training that addresses the ongoing needs of the financial services sector worldwide.
