We are certainly proud of Miss Warner for setting a high standard.”
Financial Services Studies is considered a “New Generation” CAPE® subject, having been introduced in 2016. These subjects were introduced in response to the changing social and economic demands of the Caribbean. Specifically, CAPE® Financial Services Studies is intended to assist in the formal preparation and certification of Caribbean persons to access an untapped market space and contribute to the development of more competent international financial services experts in an area which is poised for high profitable growth across the region.
