On October 30, 2014 ISET launched the Finance Course for Professionals. This one-year certificate course aims to endow people who have not received formal training in finance but have to deal with financial matters in their daily routine with fundamental concepts and methods of finance. It will enable the participants to understand and assess financial subjects independently and provide terminological and conceptual essentials for communicating with financial experts.
Lecturers Paul-Henri Forestier, Jean-Frederic Paulsen and Florian Biermann welcomed the participants and provided them with a short overview of the subjects they will be taking throughout the year emphasizing not only the work-related but also the everyday use of the knowledge they will acquire.
Classes will be held in the evening allowing employed professionals to attend the course after working hours. The program took off with the Principles of Accounting and Financial Reporting course taught by Jean-Frederic Paulsen.
