Course overview
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the UK’s regulator for financial services. Its role is to protect consumers, ensure markets function well, and promote effective competition — all of which directly influence how we design products, communicate with customers, and deliver our services.
By the end of this course, you will understand how the FCA framework translates into day-to-day behaviour — and how you personally contribute to delivering compliant, fair and customer-focused outcomes.

Understanding the rules that shape everything we do.
If you work in regulated financial services, the Financial Conduct Authority is not a distant body — it is the framework within which every product, process, and customer interaction operates.
The FCA sets the standards for how firms behave, how risks are managed, and how customers must be treated. Its rules and principles shape everything from how we communicate with customers to how we design products, handle complaints, manage vulnerability, and provide support to people in financial difficulty.
What You'll Learn
A strong understanding of the FCA helps you to:
- Make better day-to-day decisions
- Recognise conduct and compliance risks early
- Understand why certain controls and processes exist
- Deliver outcomes that are fair, consistent and defensible
