SAQ certification is the Swiss Bankers Association's response to the training requirements set out in the Financial Services Act. It consists of an assessment of technical and behavioral skills, divided into one or more written exams and an oral exam. To this end, the SBA has entrusted the Swiss Association for Quality (SAQ) with the task of setting up this certification program, in line with the content requirements laid down by the SBA.
