This course was very detailed and structured. I would definitely recommend this Certification for any budding Financial Analyst.
Anirudh Ganeshan
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.

CFI FMVA is perfect opportunity for everyone to obtain neccessary and strong background in financial modeling and valuation of companies.
