Finance Career Tracks and Certification by Subscription
365 Financial Analyst works differently from most providers on this site. Rather than selling courses one at a time, a single all-access subscription unlocks the entire library — 66 courses, 180 hours of video and more than 673 exercises — including all four structured career tracks. The other distinction is how certification is earned: not by completing a course, but by passing exams at the end of each required and elective course and then a final career track exam. That makes the certificate a statement about capability rather than attendance, which matters when it goes in front of an employer.
Financial Analyst career track
Ten courses covering accounting from debits and credits through to advanced financial statement analysis, financial statement and ratio analysis, FP&A including building a company budget, corporate finance, and Excel from beginner to advanced. Aimed at the reporting and analysis work done inside a business. No prior finance background is assumed for the introductory courses. See the
Financial Analyst career track.
Investment Analyst career track
Ten courses on researching, evaluating and analysing investment opportunities: math for finance, financial markets covering instruments, regulation and market dynamics, corporate finance, company valuation and intrinsic value, and financial statement analysis applied to a target rather than an employer. The distinction from the Financial Analyst track is direction of travel — outward at investments rather than inward at the business. See the
Investment Analyst career track.
Investment Banker career track
The most technical of the four. Investment banking industry fundamentals, accounting, corporate finance, financial modelling built from real financial statements, company valuation including DCF, capital markets, debt and equity offerings, M&A and LBO modelling. Aimed at preparing an incoming investment banking analyst rather than giving a general overview. Related
banking courses. See the
Investment Banker career track.
Quant Finance Analyst career track
Mathematics, statistics and probability applied to market data, programming for financial analysis, predictive model building, and the financial markets context those models operate in. Suits analysts moving into quantitative roles, technically-minded people entering finance, and finance staff who need to work alongside quant teams and understand what the models actually do. Programming is taught from the ground up. See the
Quant Finance Analyst career track.
Beyond the career tracks
The wider catalogue reaches past the four tracks into accountancy, auditing and business control, credit risk analysis, private equity and asset management, data analysis with Excel pivot tables, and financial ratio analysis as a standalone subject. Each track also allows up to two elective courses, so the curriculum can be shaped around a specific role rather than taken as a fixed block. Related

Certification — and why it is not a completion certificate
Most online platforms issue a certificate for finishing the video content. Here, each course ends in an exam, and the career track certificate requires passing those plus a final track exam. Certificates are verifiable, and a printed hard copy can be requested. For anyone using training to evidence capability to an employer or a recruiter rather than to tick a development box, that difference is the point of the platform.
How access and billing work
Access is by subscription — monthly, or annual at a lower effective monthly rate — taken out directly with 365 Financial Analyst, who handle enrolment, billing and support. A free tier lets you try the platform before committing, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a price lock means the initial rate carries through subsequent renewals. Training is self-paced with no schedule and no deadline to complete, and new content is added regularly. Prices are set in US dollars and shown on their site.
Which track, and does it matter?
Less than you might expect. Because a single subscription unlocks everything, choosing a track is about following a structured order rather than buying access to a walled section — and you can enrol in as many tracks as you like. Pick Financial Analyst for reporting and analysis inside a business, Investment Analyst for evaluating external investments, Investment Banker for deal work and modelling, and Quant Finance Analyst for the mathematical and programming route. If you are unsure, the first is the broadest starting point.
