Select certification final exams now use secure remote proctoring, powered by Proctorio, to help protect the integrity and value of your CFI credentials. Before starting a proctored exam, you’ll complete a quick identity check, and your session will be monitored to help keep testing fair for everyone.
Proctorio runs as a lightweight browser extension and uses your CFI credentials for setup.
You can now pay with Apple Pay at checkout in Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It works for new subscriptions, renewals, and upgrades.
AI Tutor has been upgraded and should give you more accurate answers that are more closely tied to the course you’re working through.
Answers now point back to the specific course, chapter, and lesson they came from, so you can go straight to the source. AI Tutor also automatically picks up course updates, so what it knows stays current.
A new Careers in Finance page is now live on the CFI website. It brings all nine finance career paths together, so you can see what a role involves before you commit time to it.
FP&A, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Asset Management, Wealth Management, Capital Markets, Commercial Lending, Risk Management, and Hedge Funds each provide an overview of the role, the skills it requires, and the certifications and specializations that get you there.
