To find out more, please come along to the Information Session, which will be held on Thursday 06 October 2011 at the Labourdonnais Hotel, from 4-6pm.

The Foundation is an open entry programme. There are no formal educational entry requirements, although applicants should be aware that all programmes and materials are in English. The Foundation is followed by four Advanced Courses in Trust Creation: Law and Practice, Company Law and Practice, Trust Administration and Accounts and Trustee Investment and Financial Appraisal.

For the purposes of the Mauritius Qualification Authority (MQA), these courses have been approved as non-award courses. On completion of study individuals can attempt the associated exams leading to the STEP Foundation Certificate in International Trust Management (Course 1) & the STEP Diploma in International Trust Management (Courses 2 to 5). Upon successful completion of the relevant examination(s), they will receive the relevant award by STEP and, with 2 years of experience, can become a full member of STEP and use the professional designation TEP.

Important Dates

The Foundation face-to-face course will take place in Mauritius from 02 April - 05 April 2012. Enrolment is now open for this course; applications accepted up until 31st October 2011.
