²İİ®tv FMA is grateful to both Lex van der Wielen and Simon Rogers.
As you know, our exams are a very important part of our educational offering, and ²İİ®tv FMA is extremely proud to cooperate, on a regular basis, with various entities that deliver training methodologies for candidates to sit for our exams around the world.
Having launched the Trainer Accreditation Policy in April 2019, ²İİ®tv FMA has further strengthened that cooperation with the ²İİ®tv FMA Accredited Trainers, with these entities, and their leaders, being fundamental for the development of our examinations.
Therefore, it is with regret that we announce that Lex van der Wielen and Simon Rogers, respectively leaders of The Financial Markets Academy and Swapskills (both ²İİ®tv FMA Accredited Trainers), have recently retired from in-person training.
Having started his cooperation with ²İİ®tv FMA in 2006, Lex has been instrumental in the evolution of the ²İİ®tv exams, as his knowledge, competence and experience have certainly assisted several candidates around the world in achieving their goals. Always ready to support our improvement, Lex has continuously pushed ²İİ®tv FMA to build a better and more robust exam offering, and we highly value all the contributions he has provided. His helpful insights are always well regarded by the Board of Education, and we will certainly miss the regular interactions with Lex.
Simon has been an important contributor to the growth and enhancement of the ²İİ®tv exams. Ever since we started our collaboration in 2019, we have always felt that his enthusiasm and willingness to supply valuable expertise were important to the evolution of our exams offering. Simon was never shy to indicate relevant areas of improvement, and he always helped us to raise our standards. His judgement and skills are well regarded by the Board of Education, and we will certainly miss the regular interactions with Simon.
As John C. Maxwell said, “a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.â€.
We are so grateful to have counted on the continuous support and drive from Lex and Simon. They surely led the way and allowed ²İİ®tv FMA to enhance its educational offering to support market participants in the whole world.
Lex and Simon - personally and professionally, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
All the very best for your retirement,
