Certified Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst (FMVA) from Corporate Finance Institute (CFI)
Stumbled across this, does anyone have any ideas if it would be useful? The cost is $497 which is significantly less than other programs. Obviously it wouldn't be a equivalent of a CFA or CAIA , but would it be more than a expensive piece of paper?
