RE: NEW TRAINING COURSE ON THE BASICS OF MUTUAL FUNDS
__________________________________________________________
To assist the industry in the orientation and education of its employees, the
Investment Company Institute has developed a new training course, Mutual Funds:
Basic Training. Here is a demonstration diskette and brochure describing the new
course, as well as its cost.
Mutual Funds: Basic Training is a self-paced, computer-based training program for
the education of employees who are new to mutual funds, whether they are entry-
level personnel or seasoned professionals who are new to the mutual fund
industry. Trainees study at their own pace, while the course’s computer-based
format makes learning enjoyable and easy-to-retain. The enclosed demonstration
diskette provides several samples of lessons from the course, as well as
information on the benefits of computer-based training.
The training course is divided into six modules, each of which is followed by a
module test. Upon completion of all six modules, trainees must pass a final exam
to "graduate" from the course and receive a certificate of completion. The
specific topics covered in the course are described in the enclosed brochure.
Mutual Funds: Basic Training will be available from the Institute beginning
November 30, 1993. For more information on the course, please call me at 202/955-
3536.
