CPD video courses for oil professionals
Two self-paced courses built on the 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis. One for the trading desk, one for the people who run the firm. Each ends with a certificate and a CPD log your firm can file.
For traders, analysts and portfolio managers
Analyse oil the way it traded in 2026. Build a balance, read the physical flows, score the headlines and turn a view into a trade.
For the SEO, Compliance Officer and MLRO
Learn what the DFSA and UAE rules ask of you and your firm. Plain language, real enforcement cases, and one small oil firm worked through 2026.
Every module follows the 2026 Hormuz crisis, from the closure in March to the reopening in June.
Narrated slides with subtitles. Pause, replay, or download any module as a deck.
Two timed exercises and a five-question check in every module.
Your time and results are logged per module, ready for your firm's training file.
The DFSA asks the SEO, Compliance Officer and MLRO of an Authorised Firm to complete 15 hours of structured CPD each calendar year. Many firms ask the same of their traders.
Both courses are built to that rule. Each module runs about an hour, states what you will learn and why it matters to your role, and logs the time you spend.
Your firm decides relevance and records the hours. The DFSA does not accredit CPD providers, and we claim no accreditation.
