Turn Knowledge into Results

Over 75% of CFI learners report improved productivity or competency within weeks.

"The program fully performs what it promises"

I believe the program fully performs what it promises, bridging the gap between work and higher education. For me it means an added value that I cannot describe in words. The program focuses on technical knowledge, which is highly valued since, on average, a student only learns theory before starting work.

"Excellent Finance Education"

CFI delivers an outstanding online education for any aspiring finance professional. The well-arranged dashboard, the top-notch produced video lectures, interactive exercises, and quizzes, keep the participant engaged and motivated throughout the whole program. The CFI programs are a great bridge between financial theory and professional practice.

"An amazing program provided by CFI"

The FMVA program provided by CFI proved to be a unique learning experience. Knowledge of financial modeling, business strategy, and advanced excel is catered eloquently through the courses. Starting with the foundation courses in Accounting & Finance, I became quickly engaged and inspired to complete the remainder programs in due time. I found the online delivery method that CFI provides ensured that there were clear goals to align each task towards. The team have been consistently courteous to respond to any course questions I had. Overall my experience was amazing and I highly encourage anyone looking to become a Financial Analyst to go through the FMVA program.

"World-class skills set"

FMVA certification is challenging, robust and interesting that equips an accounting/finance professional with world-class skills set to advance their careers excel in their endeavors!

"This was an amazing experience"

This was an amazing experience. I like the way the program is structured. It fits anyone whether a newbie or someone who has been in the field for some time. There is always something new to learn. I am a science student but the way the program is structured, gave me insights such that I can now build financial statements from scratch. Thank you #CFI

"Probably the best online course I’ve ever attended"

Probably the best online course I’ve ever attended. The value for money is immense. I was a bit skeptical at the beginning because I already own an MBA, I would have liked just to refresh some concepts. The program is very hands-on, it spans so many interesting topics that it makes me wonder to go deep studying them. The teachers are very clear. In answering, the customer service is quicker than amazon prime with its deliveries.

"A start for success"

FMVA is an amazing opportunity to test financial knowledge. As a Finance Major, I think that this certification helped me to understand what it is the required benchmark in the industry. I improved my modeling skills, and I think I am ready to be a world class financial analyst.

"Extremely helpful"

FMVA is the most comprehensive course. I have learnt alot. It covered everything from basic accounting to advanced financial analysis. This course was really helpful and informative.

"The instructors were top-notch"

The instructors were top-notch. The training material is truly unmatched. By the end of the course i gained skills that i will need for all of my career life.
