Nairobi — Financial analysts lobby, the Institute of Certified Investment and Financial Analysts (Icifa), has opened a new college in Nairobi's KASNEB Towers to offer courses in investment, finance, and related disciplines.

The institution, which will start admitting students next month, says the programme seeks to fill gaps in Africa's investment and financial analysis sectors.

"Everyone applies finance (in life). Students get to learn soft skills on presentation and communication skills, financial planning and wealth management and other personal finance areas at an individual level. We will also offer data analytics, fintechs, public finance and anything related to finance that serves public good," said ICIFA chairperson Leah Nyambura-Kagumba.

The institution will also offer online classes that are approved by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) and KASNEB.

ICIFA adds that its courses empower professionals to stay abreast of the latest advancements shaping the global financial arena.
