NZX Diploma Papers Update - 15 Aug 2005

NZX has recently undertaken a review of the two New Zealand specific diploma papers, The New Zealand Stockmarket (405N) and Securities Law, Stock Exchange and Market Regulation in New Zealand (508N). Following this review, NZX and the Securities Institute of Australia have resolved not to offer these 2 papers in Trimester 3, 2005, to allow for the course content to be updated. These papers will be available again from Trimester 1, 2006.

Prerequisites

Some subjects do have assumed knowledge prerequisites. For full information on these requirements please refer to Finsia education's website, or contact Finsia Education directly. NZX can not advise on these prerequisites.

The two New Zealand subjects are designed and written by experienced industry practitioners, to ensure the information provided accurately reflects today's New Zealand stockmarket. Subjects are offered by distance education only.
