Common Questions

What background do I need to start?
A basic understanding of business concepts helps, but we start from fundamentals. Many successful students come from non-finance backgrounds including engineering, accounting, and economics.
How much time should I expect to invest?
Most students spend 8-12 hours per week on coursework and practice. The program is designed for working professionals who need flexibility in their study schedule.
Are there prerequisites for advanced modules?
Each module builds on previous concepts, so sequential completion is recommended. However, students with relevant experience may test out of foundational sections after assessment.

Microsoft Excel is the primary tool, though we also introduce Bloomberg Terminal basics and Python for financial analysis. All software requirements are clearly outlined before enrollment.
