I really enjoyed the Certified Financial Engineer program due to its practical application in Excel and the excellent transfer of knowledge it enabled. I was finally able to learn how to work effectively with derivatives expertise and create added value—whether for my clients or in my own trading in the markets.

The Certified Financial Engineer Program helped me a lot in connecting the dots between the different fields of Financial Engineering. I became familiar not only with plain vanilla instruments but also with a huge variety of exotic instruments which are essential for understanding, creating, and valuing structured products. The strong focus on practice-oriented issues is more than useful for those who are interested in Financial Engineering and for those who want to widen their big picture of the financial industry. I highly recommend the Certified Financial Engineer Program to everyone who aims to strengthen his/her knowledge and applicable know-how and who wants to proof his/her competences in the more and more complex field of financial derivatives.

The Certified Financial Engineer qualification is an ideal way to transfer the theoretical prior knowledge gained during your studies into application-oriented practice. As a Certified Financial Engineer, you can visibly demonstrate that you have internalized the opportunities and risks of derivative financial instruments. The program also adapts individually to participants’ existing level of knowledge. With the help of an optional seminar, expertise can also be built up in a short time.
Dirk Meinecke, Certified Financial Engineer
Stuttgart Stock Exchange
In the Certified Financial Engineer program, participants will learn about realistic, practice-oriented tasks in derivatives or risk management through a case study and solve them independently. The division into manageable smaller tasks makes independent work much easier, as you can develop the methods step by step. The accompanying material is very helpful and clear, and it always references further reading. In the risk management specialization, common and comparatively simple methods are covered first; later, the program works with GARCH models, copula functions, and Monte Carlo simulations. By combining MS Excel with Crystal Ball and Risk Kit, even these more complex tasks can be handled very well, while maintaining the clarity and ease of use of an Excel model. The professors always provide quick feedback on the model and offer support if anything remains unclear despite the course book. For anyone who would like to get to know this area or expand and deepen existing knowledge, the Certified Financial Engineer program is an excellent opportunity.
Alexander Walter, Certified Financial Engineer, LBBW
I consider the Certified Financial Engineer program to be a noteworthy professional development credential on a résumé. After completing the program, you have comprehensive knowledge in the field of derivatives. In addition, the course provides practical examples of how institutional traders use the knowledge taught to gain advantages in the market. The support from the chairs of the European Institute of Quantitative Finance is outstanding. You receive answers and feedback to questions within a very short time. I am confident that the Certified Financial Engineer has brought me one step closer to my professional goals, and I can recommend it to anyone who has an affinity for the financial markets.
Lee-David Watzlawik, Certified Financial Engineer, Deutsche Bank
The Certified Financial Engineer program is recommended for anyone interested in derivatives or risk management.

That made it all the more exciting to now gain practical experience in risk management as well. The professors’ enthusiasm for risk management is clearly noticeable and transfers to the Certified Financial Engineer candidates.
Nicole Winkler, Certified Financial Engineer, HfWU
The Certified Financial Engineer program provides a very good overview of the field of financial engineering.

Head of Markets
I am very pleased that, at the end of my studies, I decided to participate in the Certified Financial Engineer program. After gaining a theoretical background in derivatives at Justus Liebig University Giessen, I wanted to deepen and expand my knowledge by looking at the application side. After completing the Certified Financial Engineer program, I can say with conviction that what I learned exceeded my original expectations. I can now choose the best strategy from around twenty different options strategies—depending on my risk preference, market volatility, and the expected bullish or bearish direction of the market. Learning financial modeling standards and the many hours I spent on them significantly improved my Excel modeling skills. Now even the most complicated financial calculations seem within my reach—which was not the case before. In summary, I can recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain a competitive edge on their résumé, broaden their understanding of derivatives, and learn how to play a new instrument well.

From theory to practice! While some content may be familiar from university days, translating topics into practice is still a challenge that needs to be mastered.

In my opinion, the Financial Modeler is the key qualification for investment professionals in the real estate industry. Due to the ongoing professionalization and internationalization of the sector, there is no way around Excel-based financial models for real estate valuation in professional practice.

This is precisely where the Certified Financial Modeler comes in decisively and provides the perfect additional qualification to succeed in the real estate industry. The structure of the Certified Financial Modeler, combining self-study, financial market-relevant content, and the development of practice-oriented case studies, is, in my opinion, very well done.

When I enrolled in the “Certified Financial Modeler” course, I expected to receive a basic introduction to financial modeling. However, these expectations were far exceeded. We worked with advanced models from the beginning, and I was able to apply them to self-selected companies. The quality of the learning materials was excellent, and the combination of videos and texts made learning enjoyable and efficient.

The Certified Financial Modeler laid the foundation for me to delve deeper into the modeling of financial issues. From this foundation, a passion has grown that has significantly shaped me regarding my career choice and my practical experiences.
Christoph Weyer, Certified Financial Modeler
Consultant, Partake Consulting
The Certified Financial Modeler imparts sound Financial Modeling and Excel know-how, which is often insufficiently available, especially in medium-sized companies. Financial models – regardless of their size – are often intransparent and difficult for third parties to understand. This not only complicates daily work but also project-related tasks, for example, in the context of a company transaction. In addition to modeling specific financial topics, the Certified Financial Modeler also covers methodologies for the general setup and development of models in Excel. The latter is essential for any Excel-based model – whether for creating a simple calculation or for mapping an integrated financial plan across several companies.
Katharina Hirning, Certified Financial Modeler, Consultant, Helbling Business Advisors, Munich

There is an interaction between company valuation and the company purchase agreement, as both distribute opportunities and risks between the parties. Errors often arise in the contract or in the company valuation when they do not mirror each other. Therefore, a good understanding of financial models, which is conveyed in the book and tested in the examination, is very important for corporate lawyers who handle company acquisitions. The above applies even more strongly to options. According to modern understanding, many contractual arrangements amount to options and must be valued as such.

Kamil Mammadov, Certified Financial Modeler, Munich University of Applied Sciences
The Certified Financial Modeler course thoroughly convinced me and brought me enormous added value in securing a permanent job in project management. From the start of the job, I was able to economically evaluate unexpected project developments through the program. In addition, the know-how acquired during the professional development enabled me to present the corresponding commercial impacts in a comprehensible manner with the help of self-modeled financial models.
Matthias Rawert, Certified Financial Modeler, University of Siegen
The Certified Financial Modeler program, by which I essentially mean the available learning materials, is very well structured and contains a precise and accessible teaching style. I was able to quickly and easily understand the content and comprehend it in an application-oriented manner using the Excel files. The Excel and VBA concepts shown are not only useful for financial modeling, as both basic and advanced functionalities are presented. Financial mathematical theories are explained understandably and comprehensively, which in retrospect would have saved me several hours of literature research during my studies. Highly recommended, especially for students.
Christoph Richter, Certified Financial Modeler, University of Augsburg
Having acquired financial modeling knowledge within the Certified Financial Modeler program helps me make the leap from theory to practice. During applications, I noticed that the knowledge is highly valued by banks.

Financial modeling excellently prepares students for work at banks, financial service providers, as well as finance and controlling departments of companies.
Prof. Ted Azarmi PhD, University of Tübingen
This book is a bible on the subject of financial modeling. The core sectors in the finance arena are thoroughly covered with easy-to-follow applications. The book also covers important methods for using Excel/VBA, which is essential for both professionals and students. As a professor at Pau Business School and a guest lecturer at several universities around the world, I recommend this book for its accuracy and for its case studies that facilitate simplified learning.

Wenjing Dou, Certified Financial Modeler, University of Frankfurt
My financial modeling skills helped me greatly with my application for a master’s program. The financial modeling philosophy proved to be a very good guide. This enabled me to secure a place in the master’s program at LMU Munich, and I look forward to deepening my knowledge in finance & accounting even further.
Marco Golic, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
The Certified Financial Modeler program gave me the opportunity to put the knowledge I acquired during my studies to a practical test and to gain new, very extensive know-how in the field of finance. As such, the Certified Financial Modeler is the first ticket to a successful career in finance and, in today’s application process, the obligatory ace up your sleeve.
Haris Kasumovic, Certified Financial Modeler, M.A.
The authors have produced an extraordinary, applied financial modeling text. It stresses the importance of following rigorous quality control standards when developing complex financial models. The book details in-depth Excel spreadsheet skills that are applied in realistic cases and examples dealing with company valuation, financing, investment appraisal and portfolio management, and derivatives. The book is a “must have” for serious financial modelers.
Charles Moyer, PhD – Dean Emeritus and Professor of Finance and Entrepreneurship, University of Louisville, USA
Since rote memorization has never really appealed to me as a learning method, I was very pleased that the Certified Financial Modeler program finally applied and recognized the learning-by-doing principle. By building an Excel model from scratch, I was able not only to learn all financial modeling standards but also to understand why they are useful and important. Unfortunately, conventional universities only address extremely ordinary business problems or treat only the micro-fields of the issue. A holistic picture is rarely conveyed. Unlike the Certified Financial Modeler program at the European Institute of Quantitative Finance. There, a comprehensive picture of the problem and a working methodology that includes all important aspects are conveyed from the very beginning. All “failures” are also acknowledged, as they are viewed and recorded as learning successes. The textbook helped me greatly in working on my case.
Simon Körner, Certified Financial Modeler, FernUniversität in Hagen
The Certified Financial Modeler program helped me implement theoretical concepts from my master’s studies in a clear and practical form. This enabled me to achieve a deeper understanding and to test their application in practice.
Sebastian Neu, Certified Financial Modeler, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
I have been working with the topic of “Financial Modeling” for many years. I very much appreciated the structured approach of the Financial Modeler program, and I can integrate the content very well into my courses.
Prof. (FH) Dr. Georg Plötz, Certified Financial Modeler, Professor of International Finance, Risk Management & Controlling Fachhochschule Kufstein Tirol, Austria
As someone who previously had no experience in financial modeling, I decided to complete the program in order to write my bachelor’s thesis on this topic. This decision proved to be extremely rewarding. The program was challenging, but thanks to the clear and understandable structure of the tasks, I was able to complete it successfully. The video and text materials provided were excellently prepared and helped me understand and apply even more complex concepts. Overall, the Financial Modeler program not only helped me successfully complete my bachelor’s thesis but also significantly improved my understanding and skills in finance. I can recommend this program to anyone interested in financial modeling, regardless of their previous background.
Phillip Neugebauer, Certified Financial Modeler, Hochschule München (HM)
Through the Certified Financial Modeler program, I was able to acquire theoretical knowledge in the areas of corporate finance, portfolio management, and derivatives alongside my master’s studies. In addition, I was taught how to optimally build and model a financial model and how to best address problems. From my own experience, this is very important, as this is not always optimally implemented in practice. With the knowledge I have acquired, I hope to gain an advantage over other graduates, especially during the career entry phase. I can only recommend everyone to take the Certified Financial Modeler exam.
Jochen Riedle, Certified Financial Modeler, Hochschule Nürtingen
The Certified Financial Modeler was consistently received very positively by the HR and specialist departments of companies during my applications. The financial modeling skills helped me successfully complete the application phase.
Thorsten Steinhilber, Certified Financial Modeler, Hochschule Nürtingen
The Certified Financial Modeler program offers a set of standards, structures, and techniques for creating financial models in Excel—regardless of their complexity—so that they can be easily understood not only by the creator but also by third parties.
The relevant theoretical content is very well presented in the accompanying book “Financial Modeling,” builds logically upon itself, and is appropriately supplemented by instructional videos. Through the case study methodology, the acquired knowledge can be practically implemented in Excel. This ensures that the relationships—how such a model functions—are very well understood. When questions arose, one could always contact the supervising professors, who always responded promptly. A major advantage for me was the flexibility of the program, as I could complete it independently of time and location. Thus, it was no problem to complete the Certified Financial Modeler program alongside my professional responsibilities.
Fabian Späth, Certified Financial Modeler, HfWU / Swinburne University of Technology
The Financial Modeling program proved to be a very effective and practice-oriented approach to expanding my expertise. The challenges in the field of finance that we encounter daily can be addressed in a structured manner with the help of the competencies conveyed here. The advantage of the program is that in addition to advanced financial knowledge, the philosophy of model creation is also explained, so that comprehensive know-how can be acquired.
