Aquest Academy - Intensive Training Days
Currently, most training is self-learning done on the job, which proves time consuming and costly in terms of lost productivity and allows minimum measurement of outcomes or guarantee that the correct solutions have been arrived at.
Aquest Academy helps your people rocket up the learning curve by offering full-day and half-day Intensive Training Days. We have created comprehensive detailed technical training on a range of topics, which are essential for your people, as specialised staff, to know in order to carry out their roles properly.
These bespoke modules are designed to match your people’s learning and development needs, drawing directly from Daniel Lawlor’s unique experience, gained both in industry practice and as a securities regulator.
You can build a programme for your Intensive Training Day that suits your people’s needs by selecting from our range of expert learning modules on investment fund regulation and practice. For your ease and convenience, intensive training days are delivered at your office. These are tailored to investment fund professionals across all experience levels.

Intensive Training For All Experience Levels
Aquest Academy’s has learning modules for investment fund professionals across all experience levels. You can design a programme for your Intensive Training Day for staff at the same experience level or you can have separate sessions for staff at different experience levels.
For example, you may want intensive training for new starters in the morning, for staff 2-3 years’ Post Qualification Experience in the afternoon with a session on ‘Thinking like a regulator’ for Partner-level staff at lunchtime.
Alternatively, you might want an full intensive training day for one person. In a tight labour market, it’s difficult to hire someone who’s the finished product. Mostly, you are hiring potential – people who have talent and enthusiasm but little investment funds experience. A full day of intensive one-to-one training will help deliver on potential quicker and will help your people rocket up the learning curve. They will hit learning and development goals much quicker than through traditional on the job learning.
