Corporate Finance Institute?

Hello All,

I am currently a Law student (based in the UK) that has since developed a deep interest in Finance. I was looking at the following course offered by the Corporate Finance Institute: corporatefinanceinstitute. (remove this space) com/certifications/financial-modeling-valuation-analyst-fmva-program/ and was wondering what your thoughts on it are? Is this organization credible? does the course itself look useful?

If you're a recruiter at a Hedge Fund, what consideration (if any) would you give to a candidate with this qualification on their resume?

Thank-you in advance Craig
