FCI Academy Term 1, 2026 — Build Capability & Accelerate Growth

Capability will define competitiveness in 2026. With Term 1 enrolment now open, FCI Academy invites Institutions to upskill their teams through a proven, role-based learning pathway designed specifically for factoring and receivables finance professionals.

Over the past 13 years, more than 14,500 practitioners have trusted FCI Academy to deepen their expertise. Our term-based programmes combine rigorous content with practical application so teams can deliver measurable improvements; faster onboarding, tighter risk control, fewer disputes and a consistently better client experience across domestic and cross-border flows.

“Top teams aren’t hired; they’re built. Term 1 provides a clear progression from Foundation to Advanced and targeted Certificates so Institutions can scale skills across Sales, Risk, Legal and Operations; efficiently and with impact,” said Ms. Aysen Çetintas, Education Director, FCI Academy.
