Choose from three industry-designed programs (Investment Banking, Institutional Investors, or Mentorship) and graduate with a Swiss Finance Academy certificate backed by real, graded work. Real slides. Real cases. Real deliverables.
Whether you are preparing for your first role in investment banking, building expertise in institutional investing, or looking for hands-on guidance from senior professionals, our programs are built to give you a measurable edge. Complete your chosen course and earn a certificate that speaks for itself.
Every Swiss Finance Academy program ends with a certificate of completion documenting the program and the standard of the work you produced: case assessments, models, and presentations graded against professional expectations.
Ready to walk into interviews with confidence, and with evidence of real technical work.
In banking, private equity, or asset management, looking to formalise their skills.
From law, tech, or consulting, building a credible finance foundation from the ground up.
Seeking rigorous, practitioner-developed preparation for careers in global finance.
Master the technical toolkit used at top-tier banks. This program takes you through financial modelling, slide design, and deal execution, the exact skills hiring managers test for. You will work through real case studies under time pressure and receive graded feedback from senior professionals.
Built for those pursuing careers in asset management, hedge funds, pension funds, and sovereign wealth. This program sharpens your ability to evaluate markets, construct portfolios, and think like an allocator, using the frameworks of the world’s leading institutional investors.
Go beyond the curriculum. Our Mentorship Program pairs you with a senior finance professional for personalised, one-to-one guidance. Whether you are navigating recruiting, refining your technical skills, or preparing for a specific role, your mentor tailors every session to your goals.
Every graduate walks away with more than knowledge: you leave with proof. Your Swiss Finance Academy certificate is something you can present to employers, attach to applications, and showcase on LinkedIn. It tells recruiters one thing: this candidate did demanding, graded work to a consistent standard.
Alongside the certificate, you keep the portfolio behind it: the models you built, the pitch books you produced, and the case analyses you defended.
Chartered Investment Banker™ (CIB™). Candidates on the investment banking track earn the Chartered Investment Banker™ (CIB™) designation, a credential that validates your ability to build financial models, structure deals, and deliver at the standard top-tier banks expect.
Chartered Hedge Fund Manager™ (CHFM™). Candidates pursuing hedge funds and alternative investments earn the Chartered Hedge Fund Manager™ (CHFM™) designation, covering strategy construction, risk management, portfolio optimisation, and fund operations at an institutional level.
They are two separate designations: the CIB™ is earned on the investment banking track, the CHFM™ on the hedge fund and alternative investments track.
