One Programme. Two Essential Competencies
Digital assets are no longer a niche topic. They are becoming an integral part of financial markets, investment products and institutional services.
At the same time, the introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has fundamentally changed the regulatory landscape across Europe, creating an urgent need for professionals who understand both the technology and the legal framework.
The EFFAS DiAM® programme combines these two dimensions into one internationally recognised certification.
Participants learn not only how blockchain and digital assets work, but also how to evaluate risks, understand regulation and communicate confidently with clients, colleagues and regulators.
Understand the technologies transforming financial markets
Digital assets are rapidly moving into mainstream finance. From blockchain and tokenisation to crypto-assets and digital custody, financial institutions are adapting to a new regulatory and technological landscape.
DiAM provides a practical introduction to digital assets and the European MiCA framework, helping professionals understand how these developments are reshaping financial services, investment and compliance.
Build the digital-asset knowledge every finance professional increasingly needs
The objective of DiAM is to develop professionals who can confidently understand, discuss and apply digital-asset concepts within today’s regulated financial environment. Rather than creating blockchain specialists, the programme builds the practical knowledge needed to interpret digital assets, understand MiCA and contribute to informed financial decision-making.
Essential digital-asset knowledge for professionals across financial services
DiAM is designed for professionals whose work increasingly intersects with digital assets, blockchain technologies and financial regulation. It is particularly relevant for those working in banking, investment management, wealth management, financial analysis, compliance, risk management, legal advisory, auditing, consulting, financial supervision and digital transformation.
No previous blockchain or technical knowledge is required. Whether you are exploring digital assets for the first time or preparing for the implementation of MiCA, DiAM provides a practical and internationally recognised foundation.
