"The Certified Financial Modeler program offers a great opportunity to expand and structure theoretical financial modeling knowledge. Through a practical approach, the expertise gained can be easily applied in everyday professional life."
"For me as a management consultant in the field of renewable energies, financial modeling is an essential part of every project, business plan, and financing venture. The Certified Financial Modeler program combines theory and practice in a very implementation-oriented way and teaches important Excel skills for checking, modeling, and graphically presenting complex financial models. The Certified Financial Modeler is thus able to create complex integrated financial models and perform company valuations – which are, of course, also necessary in the field of renewable energies."
"As an investment manager, it is my responsibility to value companies as part of MA activities. To further deepen my skills in this area, I decided to pursue part-time training as a 'Certified Financial Modeler' at the European Institute of Quantitative Finance (EIQF).
I would like to expressly thank Prof. Joachim Häcker and Prof. Dietmar Ernst for their excellent support, well-founded answers, and detailed explanations of my questions. The structuring of the content was first-class and covered a wide range, from balance sheet analysis and cash flow considerations to portfolio structuring. The financial modeling videos were particularly helpful; they were not only easy to understand but also helped in solving complex tasks and developing a deep understanding.
I can recommend this course to anyone who wants to acquire or deepen sound knowledge in the field of financial modeling. Given that 'digitalization and new business models are disrupting the old economy,' I am now considering continuing my educational path by completing an MBA."
"The Certified Financial Modeler is very interesting, informative, and practical. The certificate course is also ideal in conjunction with a degree program, as the ECTS credits earned can be submitted to colleges and universities for recognition. The recognition process after receiving the Certified Financial Modeler certificate went smoothly and without any problems."
