Certifications That Get to Work

It Can Be Hard to Know When Learning Meets Doing

Whether you’re training new hires or upskilling employees, you want to make sure their knowledge is relevant and skills are real-world-ready.

Theory and practice aren’t the same

Have your employees learned all about what to do without practicing how to do it?
Ramping up can be slow

Skill gaps often remain post-training, leaving managers to bridge them.
Performance is a guessing game

Modern finance roles require fresh, relevant, up-to-date skills—with clear impact.

CFI-Certified Means Proven Skills With Unlimited Potential

Knowledge is power. Skills are empowering. CFI certifications merge in-depth, comprehensive learning with hands-on skill development to give finance professionals the ability and confidence to excel at your organization.

Ready to role

CFI-certified employees can put their skills to work immediately. They’ve received role-specific training and have on-demand access to resources for ongoing learning and productivity.

Desire to excel

A CFI certification requires more than 100 learning hours, typically over four to six months. Our learners go the extra mile and will for you, too.

Deeper and broader skills

CFI certifications give learners practical skills like financial modeling and analysis, while also teaching soft skills like leadership and communication.

Real-world application

Our learners don’t just memorize theories and concepts. They roll up their sleeves and work on the same types of projects they’ll do for you.

Measurable performance

CFI-certified means having the skills to be successful on the job. Not only do learners have to nail a final exam, but their progress can be tracked when training through CFI for Teams.

On the pulse

CFI learners get access to fresh content with the latest developments in corporate finance, modeling, analytics, and market changes—no dated lessons here.
