What the course covers
5 focused sections, each built on the Irish legal position rather than generic principles, then a randomised exam and your certificate.
Legal basis: Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR); EU Taxonomy Regulation
Greenwashing is a conduct issue
Claims are enforceable
Sustainability claims are marketing statements subject to supervisory scrutiny. Overstating them is misleading a consumer.
Preferences must be captured
Sustainability preferences form part of the suitability assessment. Not asking is a file deficiency.
Disclosure categories are technical
SFDR categories carry specific meanings. Using them loosely creates exposure that is hard to unwind later.
The file has to show it
ESG advice is reviewed the way any advice is reviewed: on what the file records.
How it is assessed
Every learner sits a randomised exam drawn from a larger question bank, so no two people see the same paper and sharing answers gets nobody anywhere.
- Questions rotate per learner from the bank
- Pass mark set for genuine competence
- Learners can pause and resume at any point
- Retakes available without starting the course again
What you can evidence
The certificate is the point. It is issued automatically on a pass and lands straight in your audit trail.
- Learner name, completion date and exam score
- Course outline and the exact version taken
- CPD hours, ready for a professional CPD log
- One-click audit export across your whole team

Advisory & investment. It is written for Irish regulated firms, to the Irish legal position.
Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR); EU Taxonomy Regulation. The content is written to that legal position rather than to a generic international syllabus, and the certificate records the version taken.
Yes. Upload a list or share an invite link, track completions on the Harrington Hub dashboard, let automatic reminders chase the stragglers, and export every certificate and score in one click when an auditor or the regulator asks.
