Foot in the door.

Hello all,

I am interested in making the switch to investment banking coming from a background in financial planning/advising. In preparation for this potential move I have been researching online certifications such as IBP, CIBA, and FMVA.
I am just looking for a foot in the door and would like to possibly go the online certification route as a stepping stone towards an MBA.

Thanks, One confused monkey!
