Every obstacle overcome on the path of professional development sets the stage for new, higher and intriguing challenges. From now on, you will confirm to yourself and your colleagues and friends that the successful passing of exams and obtaining a certificate are not an end in themselves, but an expression of high professional capacity, which can and should be used to upgrade the environment in which we live and work. I wish you will meet the challenges successfully, remembering that professional ethics requires you to always put the interests of customers who rely on you before your own. The trust you gain will increase over time, and the more trust there is between the individual participants, the more will grow the trust and attractiveness the financial services market.
