Can I purchase an individual certification program?
No — all of CFI’s certification programs are included with an all-access membership. This gives you unlimited access to the entire training library, so you can explore multiple certifications, specializations, and courses for a single price.
What’s included in the annual all-access membership?
Most learners complete a certification in about 3-6 months, studying around 8-10 hours per week. Specialization programs are shorter and can often be finished in 2-4 weeks. Since CFI courses are self-paced, you can move as quickly or slowly as your schedule allows.
How long does it normally take to complete a certification program?
This is a recurring annual payment, and we accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
Are there any additional fees to maintain my certification?
Your certification itself does not require renewal or maintenance fees—it remains valid for life and includes a secure, blockchain-verified digital credential. However, access to the program content, updates, and resources is tied to an annual subscription, which renews each year.
Do you have a monthly billing option for this membership plan?
We don’t currently offer a monthly billing option. Our memberships are billed annually, which gives you unlimited access for twelve-month periods at a discounted rate compared to paying month-to-month.
What payment methods and currencies do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Payments are processed in USD, and your bank or card provider will handle any necessary conversion.
Will my membership automatically renew if I sign up?
Yes, annual memberships are set to auto-renew each year, so you don’t lose access. You can manage or turn off auto-renewal at any time from your account settings.
How does CFI compare to other finance training providers?
Many other finance designations take a theoretical, textbook approach. At CFI, we believe the most valuable method of learning is hands-on, using authentic data to analyze real-world scenarios. With CFI, you’ll learn to read financial statements, analyze the information, and even build financial models from scratch. With over 2 million learners worldwide, CFI has become the trusted choice for professionals who want results-driven training that directly advances their careers.
What happens after I enroll in a membership?
Once you join, you’ll get instant access to the entire CFI training library, including certification programs, specializations, courses, and templates included in your plan. You can start learning right away and earn a digital certificate for every completed program.
Will my certification be recognized by employers?
Yes. CFI certifications are globally recognized and valued by top employers across finance and banking. Each certification is blockchain-verified, giving you a secure and credible credential that highlights your desk-ready skills and career commitment. Many learners report promotions, career changes, and salary increases after completing their programs.
What kind of support will I have while completing my courses?
You’ll have access to CFI’s learner community, exclusive resources, and continuous updates designed to keep your skills current and relevant. If you’re a Full-Immersion member, you’ll also benefit from premium email support, personalized feedback on models, and exclusive partnership offers. No matter your membership level, you’ll never be learning alone.
