Our fast track programmes are ideal for candidates that are actively applying for roles in the financial industry, and the knowledge gained is invaluable when attending interviews.
Our exams; which are taken online, are fully proctored and have facial recognition and biometric software to assure the professional integrity of exams taken by students in their own home. CIFA exams are all ‘closed book’, students are not permitted to use notes, any mobile phones, additional computers or access any study materials or manuals during the examinations.
CIFA has left nothing to chance, we must maintain a solid reputation and the high integrity of our educational institution, the credibility and credentials of the student examination are thus paramount and for these reasons. We adhere to strict rules to eradicate any doubts as to the authenticity of our student’s identities and professional knowledge/capabilities upon successful completion of any examinations.
Our automated exam proctoring solution requires no human involvement. It authenticates the student using facial recognition and maintains continuous identity verification throughout the duration of the examination.
When the examination is completed, a detailed and optimised report of the proctor session is provided to the CIFA for inspection.

If you are thinking of taking an online accredited financial course you will not be disappointed with the great service provided by the CIFA, as we value consideration and respect, you will benefit from active ongoing support throughout your learning experience.
Always available and willing to discuss the options which suit you the best and offer constructive non-bias advice; we work with you to achieve the most successful outcome.
The saying “knowledge is strength” is indeed very true. Welcome to CIFA.
