Programme Overview

The Certificate in Succession and Wealth Transfer is the last of the five distinct modules for our signature programme – “Certified Family Office Practitioner”, which is devised to provide the skill set for those who are aspiring practitioners for the Family Office, and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Family office perspectives, internal dynamics and structural setup.

 

The programme is structured as five distinct modules, each ranging between one to one-and-a-half days, covering a range of essential topics that form the core of a successful Family Office practitioner’s skill set. Upon the completion of all five modules, participants will be awarded the full certificate from IBF. This stackable approach allows participants to complete the programme at their own pace, giving them the flexibility to balance their learning with their other professional commitments.
