January 12, 2016 - The ICA Advanced Certificate in Business Compliance is being offered for the first time in Spain in February 2016 in partnership with International Compliance Training (ICT) and Impact on Integrity España (IOI España). It has been specifically designed to meet the growing demand for highly skilled and qualified compliance professionals working outside financial services.

This intermediate-level course which is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester, will enable compliance professionals (working in areas such as oil and gas, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, telecoms and manufacturing) to gain a deeper understanding of the compliance function in a practical business context.

The certification has been designed to develop the compliance/risk management knowledge and skills of individuals and thereby help to enhance the overall reputation and performance of their firms.

Speaking about the new Diploma Bill Howarth, ICA President said "ICA is committed to ensuring that compliance professionals working in all sectors have expert knowledge and skills in order to undertake their roles with competence and professionalism. Organisations that embrace a culture of compliance also realise genuine commercial benefit from reduced costs, enhanced reputation and retention and acquisition of both customers and staff. ICA is delighted to be working with our training partner, ICT, as well as our local partner, IOI, to bring this course to Spain in Spanish."

Carlos Nuno, Head of Conduct and Regulatory Affairs Southern Europe, commented on his previous experience with ICA, "My experience with ICA has been very rewarding in terms of the course content's quality, variety and profundity but also its focus on risk management."
