Don't take our word for it

Below are just a few of the many companies who invested in their staff through FCI Academy and had to stay about our courses.

"India Factoring started our journey on FCI – Two Factor model with zero turnover in 2016 and achieved a turnover of EUR 425 M with a market share of 45% in India, thus number one in India and number 7 across the globe. This growth journey has been possible due to the strong support by the FCI and the FCI members. In India, Factoring has had limited growth and thus ready talent is inadequately available. The best option for us has been to groom our team using FCI Academy certifications and am glad to share that at any given point 70% of our team is certified for one program or the other. Afterall growing business would be impossible without core understanding of the product and using FCI Academy has been the bedrock for India Factoring. We continue to invest in our teams using FCI Academy certifications." - India Factoring and Finance Solutions Private Limited (A Member of the FIMBank Group) 

"FCI Academy offers world-class online courses which provide flexible timing and less budgeted learning for a bank staff like me. I studied in my own place and finished the Foundation Course on Factoring - Career Path Level 1 and got my certificate. It's a great course focusing on "grounds" for building knowledge on factoring, and unbelievably it is available in Chinese. FCI Academy makes self learning so easier. It's a great place to advance your career, pursue your passion and keep learning." - China Construction Bank Corporation. 

“The course was very competitive, rewarding and detailed enough. Now, I have a very good understanding of factoring, how it works and the difference between factoring and debt collections, lending among others. Once again, I am grateful and fortunate to be part of it. Factoring is still developing in my country, Nigeria; I am very much open to opportunities in this regard.” - ECOBANK NIGERIA LTD. 

"In such a dynamic economy, it becomes essential to count on training and updating tools which support the generation of results and help us prevent any event that might harm our institutions. FCI Academy, through its diverse course offerings, has given us information and experiences that we considered in our internal and evaluation procedures for continuous improvement. So personally, the contribution that the Academy has given me allowed me to understand concepts, procedures and risks associated with International Factoring and apply them into today's economy." - Banco Cathay de Costa Rica SA
