Moving from Sellside (COO area) to Buyside (COO area). Course recommendations please

Hi All, I am in a COO/Business Management Department role. Moving from a Trading & Sales floor (Support) role (20 years experience) /helping to run the Business. To a similar role in a large Asset Mgt company. I am looking to increase my knowledge of the Buysde/Asset Mgt. Am considering a CFA but was wondering if there are any recommendations for shorter term courses, eg IAM etc. Grateful for any recommendations.
