CEFA - Certified EFFAS Financial Analyst

The CEFA (Certified EFFAS Financial Analyst) programme offers in-depth information on capital markets and both national and international trends in the use of financial instruments. Modern financial theories and their applications in addition to the relevant legislation and the function of financial accounting data analyses are covered in the programme. The programme is organised in cooperation with the Finnish Society of Financial Analysts and follows the training and qualification standards set by the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies ( EFFAS). It is therefore similar in each of the 19 member countries.

Upon completion of the course and following adequate practical experience as a financial analyst or portfolio manager, participants in the programme are awarded a European diploma, the CEFA Certificate, the national and the international token of a qualified analyst.

PROFIN - Professional Finance Program

Ohjelman tavoitteena on tarjota rahoituksen laaja-alaista, mutta myös syventävää koulutusta. Tavoitteena on että osallistujilla koulutuksen jälkeen on paremmat valmiudet ja tiedolliset perusteet toimia menestyksellisesti eri tyyppisissä rahoituksen osaamista edellyttävissä vaativissa työtehtävissä.

Ohjelma koostuu kahdeksasta kahden päivän moduulista (yhteensä 16 päivää). Modulit kattavat mm. seuraavat rahoituksen alueet: Investoinnin arvonmääritys, osakkeet, korkomarkkinat, johdannaiset, portfolioteoria, ja yritysrahoitus ja corporate governance. Ohjelman suorittaneille myönnetään Hanken Professional Finance Diplomi.

Hanken suunnittelee tuottavansa Profin H13-ohjelman vuonna 2012 mikäli riittävä (break even) osallistujamäärä saavutetaan. Ohjelman esite ja ilmoittautumislomake ovat ladattavissa alhaalla olevista lenkeistä.
