CISI Corp Fin (Reg/Foundations) - Fitch Learnings
Hi all, ignore title, 1st year An.
I just wanted to do a sense check on this: I can see why it's worth buying fitch learnings for the Corp Fin Regulation exam as some is a little of ECM and regulations I haven't come across too much yet.
But I was wandering if it even makes sense to get it for the foundations which is basically a general understanding of the day to day stuff I do in M&A anyway? From the syllabus overview it would seem most of the foundations part is easy.
Can anyone with experience taking these exams shed some advice?
Cheers
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:
For the CISI Corporate Finance exams, the decision to invest in Fitch Learning materials depends on your familiarity with the content and your current role.
Corporate Finance Regulation Exam: It makes sense to purchase Fitch Learning materials for this exam, especially if you are less familiar with ECM (Equity Capital Markets) and regulatory topics. These areas can be nuanced and may require additional study resources to ensure you grasp the specifics.
Corporate Finance Foundations Exam: If you're already working in M&A and have a solid understanding of the day-to-day operations, the Foundations exam might feel more straightforward. The syllabus primarily covers general concepts that align with your current work. In this case, you might not need additional resources like Fitch Learning unless you feel there are gaps in your knowledge or you want extra practice to ensure a high score.
Ultimately, assess your confidence level with the syllabus topics. If the Foundations material aligns closely with your existing expertise, you could save on study materials and focus on self-study. However, for the Regulation exam, external resources like Fitch Learning could provide a valuable edge.
