The integrations may be useful for financial analysts who work in the financial industry and frequently perform analysis, handle sales documents, analyze financial data, review loan opportunities, etc.
The difference between the Self-Study and Full-Immersion Subscription is the kind of support you will receive and the integrations access. You do not need any of these integrations to complete or be successful in any of CFI's programs. They are just extras and can largely benefit finance professionals.
Aside from the integrations, the Full-Immersion Subscription also includes premium email support, tutoring, and more. You will have access to these options right from your dashboard.
Want to Upgrade? ^
If you start with the Self-Study subscription and later find that the Full-Immersion features would benefit you, the upgrade option is available from your dashboard.
Find the upgrade button on the main dashboard page and complete the form. An email will be sent to the customer support team and your prorated fee will be calculated and communicated to you. Once you agree to the fee, you will be upgraded and instantly gain access to the Full-Immersion features.
Pricing ^
- Self-Study Subscription: $497 USD per year
- Full-Immersion Subscription: $847 USD per year
Please be advised that the $41.42 (or $70.58) displayed is the estimated monthly expense for the annual subscription pricing plan. This means you will be charged once for the entire year and won't be charged again until your subscription is due to renew.
As of the moment, we currently do not offer the option of a monthly subscription plan.
Your subscription plan (both Self-Study and Full-Immersion) includes digital blockchain certificates for each course and program and all final exam retakes.
Payments in some areas may include a sales tax. Sales tax will be listed on your checkout page.
If you do not wish to renew your subscription at the end of your billing cycle, you may cancel it from your CFI account profile settings. Once canceled, you won't be charged again and you will lose access to your CFI courses at the end of your billing cycle, so make sure you only do so once you're sure about it.
All of the free digital certificates you achieve in training are going to be yours for life and they will never expire! Your training progress will also remain saved should you decide to cancel your training and re-enroll later.
CFI Subscription Plans Summary ^
If you're still unsure of which subscription plan is right for you, we'll go over a brief walk-through below.
Self-study Subscription: Best for learners who want to take their time navigating through the self-paced courses and do not require tutoring.
Full-Immersion Subscription: Best for learners who prefer to have integration features and tutors available for course content questions.
Kindly note that our billing cycle runs on an annual basis. Your subscription plan will automatically renew on the same date every year.
