Towards success in your career...
- CFS certification gives you the opportunity to develop the analytical tools and skills required for the success in your business and finance career.
- CFS certification is accredited on the UK's national qualifications framework and benchmarked against EQF.
- With the CFS designation after your name, you will be able to stand out from the crowd.
- In order to achieve the CFS designation, you need to pass a computer-based MCQ exam. The exam will assess your understanding of 'CFS Body of Knowledge'.
Recognition
Certified Finance Specialist (CFS) certification is recognised in the UK as SCQF Level 7 qualification. It is recognised in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) as Level 5 qualification.
Exam Preparation
- CFS exam questions are set from the 'CFS Body of Knowledge'. You are also required to study MCQs provided in the 'Practice Book'.
- Each MCQ will have one correct or best answer. There will not be any negative marking if you select wrong answer for any of the MCQs.
- Time required for exam preparation will vary. If you are already familiar with finance and accounting concepts, you could straight away register for the exam! However, if you are new to finance, you may need to study for no less than three (3) months.
- Some students prefer to take exam preparation independently. We call it "self-study" route. Other students prefer to attend exam preparation classes with one of our registered centres.
- Our registered centres provide excellent exam preparation support and services. However, IQN is NOT involved in the services provided by the registered centres. Any agreement is directly between the student and the respective centre.
