@aperiwal001 Don't know where you are getting your info man... Just look at the endorsing partners list . The knowledge you get from the training is enough to ace any interview (on that subject). A couple of my friends had cleared the Capital market certification and it helped them during their placements.

@[546428:aperiwal001]: I think it's worth giving the certification for the knowledge itself.. It'll give you an edge during your summer placement interviews at the minimum.

@[582498:iwantgovtjob]: More than 30k easily and definitely more than 90%. You have cleared CFA L1 right?

@[582498:iwantgovtjob]: Boss surety to nahi bol sakta, but yes your job prospects definitely improve drastically.

Hey guys, If you are really serious about finance domain, go for a CFA or FRM, but these are a long term investment. For short to medium term go for FLIP or NCFM certifications. Though I sometimes wonder about the quality of NCFM certifications

Thanks Dhruv :clap:
What is the job scene after doing the Treasury module? I have heard that banks are very choosy about hiring for treasury.

I would suggest for the FLIP certifications, they're the best in the shortest possible amount of time.

For beginners, the finance and fundamentals combo will give you comprehensive understanding of the basics of banking and financial markets. Although this can be done through NCFM just to build a basic foundation.

The FLIP modules you take would depend upon what you're targetting post MBA :

1. Treasury module & Investment banking module - Treasury module mostly deals with trading currency markets and derivatives, this is especially helpful if you want to get into sales & trading post MBA or if you want to particularly enter treasury for sure.

Am not sure how much the investment banking module will help, although it does give you an understanding of the basics of M&A; and issue management. Add to this a financial modelling course (in excel) and I think it'll be a good value addition.


2. Corporate banking & trade finance- This is helpful post mba too and now also if you're currently looking for a job, banks usually advertise for relationship managers at the most basic level - opening accounts / basic banking products etc. You should ideally be targetting the next level which deals which is the relationship manager who deals with corporate clients and SMEs. There's very little understanding in the market about corporate banking products and trade finance products like LCs,SBLCs. The course structure covers a lot of topics ( Trade Finance & Cash Management Services ) .

Hope this helps!

Hey all,
I want to do a certification in core finance to build my resume. I want a certification which carries weight. CFA will take too much time. Is there something which can help me in getting a job sooner than later? Banks which came for campus gave relationshp manager or sales profiles. I applied to many companies off campus but they mostly want experienced people. I have taken a couple of NSE certifications but they are not worth a dime in the market.
Please help me.

If his college isn't providing placements then tell him to apply to NBFCs and banks directly. Not sure about the non finance fields. I think its better he decides in which field he wants a career before going in for the internship as that will help him later.

Thanks Sagnik and Varun! The point is that I need a job sooner than later and I feel CFA and FRM are a bit too broad in their focus and I can't devote that kind of time right now. I may do it later. Getting into an I-Bank would be next to impossible without experience or top 10 B-School backing. I heard of a company called FLIP which offers certifications but I don't know how good they are. Can anyone get some info about them?
