Fund qualification certificate refers to the qualification certificate that proves that the holder is engaged in relevant work in the fund industry. The validity of the certificate is limited, usually three years. During the validity period, the holder can engage in relevant work in the fund industry. If the certificate expires, the holder needs to take the exam again and get a new certificate before continuing to engage in related work.

However, some people may misunderstand the validity period of the fund qualification certificate. They believe that once they get the certificate, they can permanently engage in related work in the fund industry without having to take another exam. This view is wrong.

The validity period of the qualification certificate for fund practice shall be stipulated by China Securities Industry Association. According to the regulations of the association, fund employees need to participate in continuing education and training within the validity period of the certificate to keep their professional knowledge and skills updated and upgraded. If the holder does not participate in continuing education and training, the certificate is invalid and the holder cannot engage in related work in the fund industry.

Therefore, the validity period of the fund qualification certificate is not permanent. The holder needs to participate in continuing education and training within the validity period to maintain the validity of the certificate. Only by constantly updating and upgrading their professional knowledge and skills can holders remain competitive in the fund industry and provide better services to customers.
