Arena Integration Framework (AIF)
AIF-FIX Certification
FIS offers a course titled “FA115 Front Arena: FIX Toolkit.” After completing this course, the participant can take the AIF-FIX certification.
What is FIX?
The Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Protocol is a technical specification for electronic communication of trade-related messages. More precisely, the FIX Protocol is a series of messaging specifications developed through the collaboration of banks, broker-dealers, exchanges, industry utilities and associations, institutional investors, and information technology providers from around the world. These market participants share a vision of a common, global language for automated trading of securities, derivatives, and other financial instruments (see www.fixprotocol.org for more information).
Assessments
The AIF FIX Toolkit certification is based on two parts. You must complete the following assessments during the program:
Part 1 - Multiple-choice questions

Part 2 - Essay questions

- L - FIX AFG
The assessments are carried out using the Certification and Assessment Tool (CAT). Trading University will guide you through the process.
