LSEG unveils Finance Essentials certification

LSEG has launched an education programme that will help students master finance and capital markets with the support of LSEG’s flagship platform: Workspace.

The Finance Essentials certification covers everything from economics to currencies and the stock market. Finance Essentials is an accessible and self-paced eLearning programme.

Understanding capital markets requires knowledge of finance theory, economic insight and market dynamics. Designed by industry-leading instructors at Training the Street and finance experts at LSEG, Finance Essentials offers a carefully organised educational series that delivers a clear framework of the foundations of the capital markets. 

For professors, Finance Essentials can be integrated into their course curriculum with Professor reports available to monitor progress.

“We’ve put a lot of thought to channel our expertise and passion about capital markets into making a course that turbocharges the skills and knowledge of students and finance professionals wanting to learn more about the financial world,” said LSEG Head of Investment Banking Capital Markets & Academia, Mahmoud Khliefat. “It’s accessible, and it’s extremely robust: the challenging final assessment ensures that those who have completed the programme are well-equipped for their internships or job searches and well-positioned to build successful careers within the financial community.”
