Hi [First Name],

Financial fluency can give you a powerful edge as you embark on your career. Understanding how investments work can help you make better decisions, ask smarter questions, and demonstrate real business insight – skills employers value in every field.

The globally recognized Investment Foundations® Certificate from CFA Institute offers a complete introduction to finance and the investment industry. It's created for students who want a real-world understanding and career confidence.

As a full-time student, before you graduate you’ll pay only £60* - that’s a 77% discount on the full price of £267

You'll learn about:

  • How financial markets and investment decisions shape the global economy
  • The roles of performance, risk and ethics in finance
  • The language of investment professionals, explained clearly and accessibly

And because it’s self-paced, you can learn on your own schedule. Most students complete it in around 40–70 hours – that’s about two hours a day for four weeks, or four hours a week for three months.
