The certificate offers foundational knowledge for finance, ethics, and investments, providing a clear understanding of the global investment industry including terminology and foundational concepts. The cost of the certification, $350 was sponsored by Girls Who Invest, an organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in investment and asset management roles. This certificate was completed after dedicating 3-4 hours/week over the course of 6 months totaling 70-80 hours to passing the final examination and obtaining the certificate.
