You can also explore our skills assessments here, which will help determine where to start your learning journey.

My Learning Journey

Opening the "My Learning Journey" drop-down from the left-hand navigation menu will show you the following:

In-Progress Courses

Click on "In-Progress Courses" to see a list of all courses you've engaged with. The course you most recently accessed will always be listed at the top for easy access. You can also view the completion percentage for each course and pick up where you left off.

Saved Courses & Notes

You can create a personalized list of interesting courses by clicking the "Save Course" button at the bottom right of any course page. Each course you save will be listed on this page.

You can also create and save notes on all individual video lessons. All saved notes can be viewed below or downloaded for offline use and study. You can search for specific notes using a keyword and/or filter by program to make it easier to find what you want.

Transcripts & Certificates

This page contains all course certificates of completion. Click to "view" a certificate, which you can share, download, or post directly on LinkedIn. After completion, certificates may take up to 24 hours to appear.

You'll also see all Certification and Specialization completion certificates on their respective pages.

CFI online courses are verifiable CPE/CPD credits for CPAs and other accounting designation holders. You'll retrieve your CPE certificates here to earn your credits. Check out these articles for more information about CPE/CPD credits through CFI.

Detailed completed Certification Program and Specialization transcripts, including a list of all course names and exam results, can be viewed and downloaded from this page as well.

Course Catalog

Open the course catalog to see all the learning content available through your CFI subscription. You can view the entire course catalog or click on Certifications, Specializations, or Role-Based Learning paths to narrow your results.

All courses/programs can also be filtered by topic, program, difficulty level, learning status, and whether or not they're CPE Accredited.

CFI Community

To visit CFI's exclusive, members-only community, select Community from the left-hand navigation menu. This will open a new page where you can engage with like-minded learners, ask questions, and share! We ask that you be kind and respectful, stay on topic, and not share any assessment answers.

We're incredibly excited to make this community available to our members—we encourage you to have fun, be social, form relationships, and take advantage of everything this growing platform offers.

Training Tools

Click the Training Tools dropdown to reveal our hands-on, real-world learning tools. Here, you can explore our templates—a collection of downloadable Excel files and PDF guides designed to be used on the job. Each Template is prebuilt with sample data and formulas.

Skills assessments are great for learners who aren't exactly sure where to begin their learning journey. Take any one of our available assessments to gauge your skill level, identify where you may have skill gaps, and enroll in the courses/programs CFI suggests based on your results.

Case Study Challenges are also accessible through this list. Each Case Study Challenge provides a scenario, materials, and tasks to complete. After completing all tasks, compare your solution/answers to the video debrief/answer key so you can self-grade your work and understand any opportunities for improvement!
