What is the PDFM?
The HKSI Professional Diploma in Financial Markets (PDFM) aims to set a standard of competency across the securities and investment industry and to examine whether individuals have acquired the knowledge of principles and practices that apply to their job functions. The PDFM is a 5-year programme which is modularised into seven modules (PDFM Modules). The PDFM is designed to offer a high degree of flexibility, allowing individuals to pursue the programme at their own pace and by their preferred mode of study. The PDFM allows PDFM Students to select either the Training and Examination Mode (TE Mode) or the Examination-only Mode (EO Mode) for each of the seven PDFM Modules.
