Certificate Course

We are planning on holding our LMA Certificate Course in its original live, in-person format from 18 to 22 October 2021 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

This naturally will be dependent on any new restrictions that are imposed regarding events, but we are keen to start planning in the hope that this course will go ahead. For now, we would like to gauge the level of interest from delegates in this in-person event.

The LMA Certificate Course is a one week training course aimed at those working in the banking and institutional investor markets looking to gain a broad understanding of the workings of the primary and secondary syndicated loan market. The course can be for those working in the legal profession.

It is designed for those who are:

• Relatively new to international banking; or
• Practitioners, working in one segment of the loan market, who require a broader overview of the various activities which make up the syndicated loan market; or
• Junior personnel in origination, distribution or a trading team; or
• Seeking to enter a syndication team and need to develop their knowledge of the market; or
• Practitioners in other product groups, such as asset swaps, CDS and relative value, who require an insight into the syndicated loan market.

An overview of the course programme is available under the Agenda tab of this webpage.

Payment & cancellation
The course fee is £1,850 (plus VAT) which covers all tuition, lunches, refreshments and course materials.

Given the uncertainty regarding in-person events and international travel due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that it might still be difficult to fully commit to attending the course at this early stage. Therefore, if you register now, you will not be required to make any payment just yet. The registration form will still ask you to fill in your billing details, however we will not be sending you an invoice until 20 September. You will be able to cancel your place free of charge up until this date. Once the invoice has been issued, any cancellation request will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
