The performance of a business organization is ultimately measured in financial terms.
A look at the income statements of a few manufacturers shows that about two-thirds of the expense happens in the supply chain and operations areas, which includes procurement, manufacturing, inventory management, warehousing, and transportation. Therefore, professionals working in these areas should have a deep understanding of the impact of their day-to-day work on product cost and eventually, the overall financial results.
The CIFA course attempts to make this connection by presenting the key principles and concepts in an easy-to-understand way for a non-financial professional, helping them make more informed decisions in their respective areas.
Upon enrollment, you will receive three months of full access to the online learning resources. During this period, you may review the course at your own pace, complete the module quizzes and final assessment, and download your CIFA certificate upon successful completion.
In addition, you will have the option to attend our instructor-led coaching sessions – a series of four consecutive Saturday classes, held from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST/DST (New York time). Attendance in these live sessions is optional, and you are welcome to join even if you have already completed your coursework and received your certificate.
Your course fee includes everything – online learning access, quizzes, final test, certificate, and the option to attend live instructor-led sessions. Please check the Course Calendar for the next cohort’s start date.
