Program Overview: What is MiFID II and Securities Markets Regulation Corporate Training?
MiFID II & Securities Markets Regulation is Edstellar's instructor-led compliance program for securities, brokerage, and asset-management teams working under European market rules. Participants work through the directive's scope and objectives, investor protection, conduct of business, and transaction reporting. It builds the working knowledge compliance, legal, and front-office staff need to meet MiFID II obligations daily.
Training is scenario-driven from the first module. Participants classify clients and run suitability checks against MiFID II's investor-protection rules, then price up best execution and cost-disclosure scenarios the way conduct-of-business examinations do. Instructors coach your team through transaction-reporting fields and market-structure controls for algo trading and research, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone: a mock MiFID II compliance review of a full trading workflow.
Securities teams without current MiFID II fluency misreport transactions, mishandle suitability, and learn about best-execution failures from regulators. This program teaches your people to spot the directive's tripwires before an examination does, and to evidence every decision. Every rule is practiced against realistic cases, so the learning transfers straight to surveillance, reporting, and client files.
In the capstone, your team runs a mock MiFID II compliance review: a trading workflow with seeded breaches in client classification, best execution, cost disclosure, and transaction reporting, which they must find, evidence, and remediate under examination conditions. What returns to the desk is a compliance team that reads a trade the way a regulator would.
Six modules and 25 hours: MiFID II foundations, investor protection, conduct of business, transaction reporting, market structure, and a capstone mock compliance review. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each rule is practiced. It closes with a mock compliance audit the team scopes, tests, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.

Connect MiFID II Controls With Practical Client, Trade, and Review Evidence
Edstellar develops securities compliance capability through the obligations and scenarios covered in the MiFID II curriculum. Participants classify clients, review suitability and execution decisions, and validate transaction records before examining market-structure controls. A simulated firm review assesses the quality of evidence, the rationale for findings, and the coherence of proposed remediation.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore securities workflow familiarity and compliance responsibilities to identify gaps in scope mapping, client classification, suitability, execution evidence, and transaction reporting.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish MiFID II scope before investor protection and conduct, then develop reporting, market-structure, and research-payment reviews before the simulated compliance assessment.
- Step 03
Align
We align securities regulation and operational-control expertise with compliance, trading, legal, and operations roles, framing practice around the cohort's instruments and client segments.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional client profiles, trade records, and control frameworks reflect relevant market activities, enabling tailored reporting and suitability exercises without exposing client identities or actual investigations.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants assess suitability, examine execution scenarios, repair transaction-report fields, and review trading controls, receiving feedback on evidence, disclosure clarity, and the reasoning behind findings.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the mock review for traceable obligation mapping, supported client and trade conclusions, documented reporting checks, and remediation priorities that address the identified control gaps.
