What Is Forex COB Training?
Building competence in foreign exchange investments
Specifically, Class of Business training provides broad knowledge of a recognised class of financial products. Accordingly, Forex COB Training introduces the structure, terminology, role players, risks and regulatory environment connected to foreign exchange investments.
Moreover, the course explains how currencies trade in pairs, how exchange rates move and how different forex instruments may be used. Learners also consider costs and tax implications before applying the knowledge to practical financial-services situations.
COB training and product-specific training
Importantly, Class of Business training is not the same as product-specific training. By comparison, COB covers the wider forex product class, whereas product-specific training explains the detailed features, rules and conditions of a particular provider’s product.

Forex COB Regulatory Reference
Specifically, Board Notice 194 of 2017 sets out the Fit and Proper Requirements for financial services providers and includes Class of Business training within the competence framework. Consequently, the training requirement must be considered together with the person’s role, financial service, product category, supervision status and any applicable exemption.
Confirming individual competence requirements
However, completion of a course does not by itself confirm that a person meets every regulatory requirement. For that reason, an FSP should verify each person’s competence requirements before allowing unsupervised financial services.
