Three key challenges for Financial services providers
Meeting FCA Training and Competence (T&C) requirements
The regulatory landscape continuously shifts. Organisations must prove that employees in regulated roles have completed the right competency training, and that they are up to date with regulation changes. Firms that fall behind face enforcement action.
Being audit-ready, always
Your compliance team manages FCA obligations in one system. L&D tracks training completions in another. Certification renewals slip through the gaps. Without a single source of truth for training records, evidencing competency across your workforce is error-prone. When the audit arrives, teams scramble to piece together a complete picture.
Saving time
Chasing completions. Sending reminders. Updating spreadsheets. None of it is risk management. It just looks like it. Every hour your compliance team spends on process is an hour not spent on the work that actually protects your firm.

Access Learning brings together an award-winning LMS, a library of FCA-mapped eLearning and and intelligent automation tools. These products all sit within the Access Evo platform, so learning and development in financial services is fully accessible without needing separate logins.

Professional development for finance leaders in the making
Access Learning Content supports on-demand professional development for employees in FCA-regulated firms, with resources to build leadership, communication and wellbeing skills beyond their compliance obligations. Finance professionals can build these skills at their own pace, in formats that fit around their working day: short videos and audio for time-pressed professionals, eBooks and virtual masterclasses for deeper learning.
Career pathways for every employee
Access Careers Centre gives compliance officers, risk analysts and their managers a structured path for development beyond their current role, with skills assessments and career mapping. Employees get Individual Development Plans with learning recommendations tied to their next qualification. Managers get visibility of each team member's progress, so finance career development conversations are structured rather than ad hoc.
Operational compliance beyond training
MY Compliance Management covers the workplace and operational compliance obligations that sit alongside FCA regulatory training. Facilities managers can log incidents and security breaches with a full audit trail. Risk teams can run audits, assign actions, and export reports for regulatory submissions. The system tracks certification expiry dates and sends alerts before deadlines are missed.
