What our alumni say about previous CFTE live programmes
The payments specialisation and the Uber Extrapreneurship experience were key factors to help get my new job
It is a really self-reflective experience. It gave me actually much more confidence, in being extremely independent, being actually able to dig into ideas
This two-month experience was fascinating, as it pushed us to think out-of-the-box and pitch something more creatively and in a way which I have never done before. It is definitely this kind of attitude I would love to see replicated in a large organisation as MUFG.
Pricing includes:
- Live, online sessions with one of the top minds in DT
- Weekly guided workshops with Transformational Leaders to contextualise theoretical learnings
- On-demand Fintech 360 course (worth £600) with certification
