Hi Sunil,

The FIX certification for firms is an “application certification” to say that the firm’s FIX interface is FIX compliant.

You are looking for a Prometric certification something like “Certified FIX analyst” or “Certified FIX developer” or “Certified FIX tester” or whatever else is your line of interest. Presently there is no such thing. There is a “Global Education & Marketing Committee” at

Hi Global Education & Marketing Committee members,

Probably, prometric certifications for FIX would help new candidates enter the FIX world and also help FIX employers find new FIX candidates. I have some friends who have learnt basics of FIX out of their interest / in their spare time and are interested to find a FIX job, but do not get interview calls when they place their resume asking for a FIX position because their resume does not have any FIX in it and their present work experience is not on FIX.

Providing Prometric certifications in FIX would help growth of FIX.

I moved from Cobol-DB2-CICS to Java after I completed Sun Certified Java Programmer prometric certification in Aug-2001, Sun Microsystems gave me a way to prove my Java programming skills.

Hi Sunil,

The Institute for Market Technology (IMT) is in the process of developing a program for Certified Financial Protocols Specialist (CFPS).

Together with The LaSalle Technology Group, who also provides simlar training services, we are working with the IMT to develop a curriculum for their CFPS program. You can find information about the IMT at www.i4mt.org .

Hi Robert,

Could you please provide details on whether this certification exam can be taken online/any agencies across the globe acting as exam centers.
Also, as the fees 495$ is a bit unaffordable for students/individuals from developing coutries/third world countries, are there any proposals to work on the fee structure to make the certifications cater to bigger audience.

It seems that www.i4mt.org no longer exists.

Do we have any other alternatives?
