The Financial Conduct Authority is now able to cancel, vary, or restrict a firm’s permissions far more quickly than before. These permissions define exactly what regulated activities a business is legally allowed to carry out — and if they’re wrong, misunderstood, or misused, the consequences can be serious.
That’s why our FCA Permissions course is essential for anyone working in, or alongside, regulated consumer credit activities.
By the end of the course, you and your team will have a clear, practical understanding of:
• What Part 4A permission is and why it forms the foundation of FCA authorisation
• The difference between exemptions and exclusions, and when they apply
• Which consumer credit activities require limited permission and which require full permission
• The role and responsibilities of Appointed Representatives
• The most common misconceptions that lead firms into difficulty
• How FCA supervision works in practice, and what the regulator expects from your business
This isn’t just theory. It’s about protecting your firm, your reputation, and your ability to trade.
When your team understands permissions properly, they make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and operate with confidence and credibility.
The module is simple to complete, fully online, and includes a short assessment at the end. Once passed, learners receive certification confirming their knowledge.
For compliance-regulated firms, this training isn’t optional in spirit — it’s part of building a professional, trusted, and sustainable business.
If your team interacts with consumer credit in any way, they need to understand this.
Because when it comes to FCA permissions, what you don’t know can stop your business operating.
