CISI/ICAEW diploma in Corporate Finance

Hi All

I wanted to get a view on the relevance of this certification in the UK corporate finance / development market. This seems like something which some Banks get their staff to pursue on the job.

I am not keen on joining the banks but wanted to test if this holds value in Corporate side/ also buy side.

All opinions welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
