SwissFin is a Swiss finance education network that unites Swiss private higher-education excellence with UK Government recognition.

Switzerland is the world’s number one nation in finance, and SwissFin fully inherits this advantage through the SIMI Education Group.

The programme and qualification are recognised by the Government of the United Kingdom through the Ofqual-regulated framework.

Enabling learners to access leading communities and the latest knowledge in finance, fintech and emerging trends.

SwissFin integrates and fully maps to professional finance pathways, including IFA, AIPA, MIPA, ACCA and other specialist frameworks.
Built upon the two most respected financial education systems in the world — Swiss excellence and UK government-recognised standards — SwissFin delivers a superior, internationally aligned pathway for finance and accounting professionals.
National Occupational Standards (NOS) are government-approved competency frameworks that define the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for each job role to an internationally recognised standard. They are widely used across the UK and referenced globally by governments, employers and training providers.
