Master of Leadership in Development Finance (MA) - online - Online

1 opinion

I found all the courses provided by Frankfurt School of Finance & Management extremely useful for the new line of development work that I had just got into. I moved from private sector financial services (insurance) to International development (UNCDF) in the area of Inclusive finance and hence wanted a basic orientation in microfinance. The course I took was just right for that and provided me with the appropriate level of knowledge required for a good understanding of microfinance. The online resources including audio/video, teaching material, notes, links to CGAP papers were all very useful not only from the point of view of the course but as a ready reckoner for some of my work related issues as well. The elective course on Mobile banking that I had taken was very much in line with the work that I am currently doing in the Solomon Islands. I would most certainly confirm that the CEMF course is right for any practicing microfinance Manager as well as those in the development area. The support from the FS team is also appreciable, given that they were there to provide guidance at every step. Otherwise for a working professional, it becomes difficult to manage time. My compliments to FS and the team!

This course is the best I have taken in the whole master so far. It was absolutely clear and very well structured. The assignments were difficult enough to spend time on it and keep learning while solving them. The course content was formulated in a compelling manner and it proves that learning doesn’t have to be a painful activity. It was also very deep and objective, showing the shortcomings of microfinance and risks of mission drift and the trade-off between financial and social performance of a purpose-driven institution.
I think that everybody should learn from those who created the course on how to develop learning material that stays with the students.

I have been greatly impressed by participation in CEMF courses, results of which have much exceeded my expectations. Not with standing more than 15 years experience in microfinance and management, I have gained much new knowledge and practical skills that are highly valuable for me and my company. The course contents and topics are structured very effectively and in a way to give participants opportunity of using gained knowledge in their daily activities. CEMF covers all main aspects and areas of today’s microfinance activities and can be applied by experienced MFI managers as well as beginners. The virtual forum is also very effective in terms of peer experience sharing among participants.

The Course was delivered using a virtual network but was very interactive with videos, forum and regular emails coming from the tutors. The Content in my view was suitable for individuals who were new to the Climate Finance industry as very little technical language was used. I was extremely impressed with the structure of the course. I was introduced to the the basics of the Climate problem, the way in which climate financing evolved and the current status and challenges.

Ayant fait initialement des études Universitaires scientifiques, j’ai dû faire quelques reconversions d’ordre professionnelles, pour atterrir finalement au service des opérations d’une institution financière. Forte d’une expérience managériale confortable, je voulais avoir une meilleure assise dans un métier de la finance. Un collègue m’a parlé de cette école et je m’y suis inscrite, quoi qu’avec beaucoup d’appréhension, car consciente de mes limites en comptabilité et en finances. Très vite cependant, l’intensité des cours et la densité des devoirs m’ont fait oublier mes craintes. Une bonne dose de bon sens et de la détermination sont alors devenues mes chevaux de batailles. J’ai tremblé mais j’ai osé. J’ai osé et j’ai réussi. Aujourd’hui j’ai plus confiance en moi et ne me sens plus inférieure face à mes collègues qui ont fait de longues études de gestion.

What could be improved:
There are too many recommended readings and it is difficult to understand what is most important. Also, as additional learning material you could create expert interviews (6-8 min max) where a person directly involved in the topic can provide first hand feedback on how some mechanisms work in practice.

My studies at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management taking the Certified Expert in Climate & Renewable Energy Finance course was a great experience. The concise lectures that were well articulated and the support from e-Campus team made learning fun and engaging. More so the eye-opening on global issues on climate change, renewable energy and finance thereof is truly precious. The ultimate knowledge gained is invaluable and worth the time and effort. I am already applying this knowledge in my work in international development finance. Thank you all for making it happen.

What I would highlight:
Overall, the course was excellently organized, well managed and gave a great insight into the different types of finance available for climate and renewable energy projects. As someone without a finance background, I found the first few units were a very useful introduction to the topics of climate finance and environmental economics, making the later units easier to follow. The format of the online course with short tests at the end of each unit made it easier to stick to the proposed deadlines and keep up with the work. Trainers were always quick to respond to any questions raised by participants and this engagement really made the learning process easier. The online platform was easy to use and the forums provided a great space for discussions on course material.

What I would highlight:
The course program was really interesting because after the course you have the ability to understand the micro-insurance industry and even manage a micro-insurance institution. It was really practical and I have the opportunity to work on my own micro-insurance company as an exercise. I really like the fact that teachers provide personal feedback regarding practical exercises. Teachers was always available to interact online with us and that is really important for us in our learning process. They provide additional materials online such as a library and online videos. Most importantly, I appreciate the motivation provide by the organizers regarding timeline reminders which prevent me from missing an important deadline.
What could be improved:
This course is so important that I would recommend to translate in other languages particularly in french. A lot of my colleague would like to take this course but they speak only french. It would be interesting if they could provide additional documents regarding actuarial calculations for those who would like to master this section. It would be interesting to have a follow-up opportunity for those who would like to keep in touch with their teachers and fellow students.

My goal in doing islamic microfinance course was to learn a way of practising development finance differently. I am thouroughly satisfied because we receive many practical cases, deep explanations and I feel at ease in designing innovative financial products for the SME'S.

What I would highlight:
Je suis convaincu que la microfinance est un puissant vecteur de lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion financière. Depuis 2006, j’ai exercé tous les métiers au sein d’IMF de référence en Afrique subsaharienne. Les besoins de services financiers sont colossaux mais le manque de professionnalisme dans la gestion des activités fait que la plupart des institutions ne sont pas pérennes. C’est justement le désir de me professionnaliser davantage qui m’a motivé à m’inscrire au cours de la Frankfurt School. Grace à la flexibilité de la méthode d’enseignement et à la richesse de la documentation, cette formation en microfinance m’a permis de découvrir les meilleures pratiques et techniques de gestion des IMF. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, me voilà doté de techniques supplémentaires me permettant de rectifier chaque jour nos pratiques actuelles dans toutes les sphères de compétences : améliorations de la qualité d’administration et de gestion de prêts ; amélioration de la qualité des ressources humaines (recrutement, formation, motivation) ; amélioration du suivi et surtout amélioration de la qualité de la relation client.

It was great training opportunity with Professor Joachim Bald who is the best Professor in risk management in the world, in my opinion.
What could be improved:
I suggest;
- The video files be small size, because as you know that some countries have weak internet services, so the trainees will suffer more to listening to the video. I was suffer from this problem.
- To establish forum for alumni to sharing and interchanging there experience in the future and to build relation with each other.

What could be improved:
1. Introducing some mandatory deadlines (e.g. passing certain units, etc.) earlier in the term could be beneficial.
2. I would like to have seen a little bit more hands on financial modelling and possibly a bit less theory on policy, etc.
