Fluent in Finance

Learn the basics of business acumen with this interactive self-paced finance course.

A Comprehensive Business Acumen Primer for Nonfinancial Managers

Your organization’s success rests on the performance of your managers. Great managers and leaders make financially sound decisions. They communicate effectively up and down the chain of command and across business units and functional areas. They speak the language of business. They are fluent in finance.

Fluent in Finance™ is an 8- to 16-hour introductory-level online course in business finance that combines the convenience and best practices of online delivery with rich interactive media and business simulations.

The course laid out the content very well. Very good mix of conceptual information and practical exercises.

The Structure

Multimedia case studies frame each chapter and ask learners to solve realistic business problems by applying financial concepts presented in the chapter. Interactive tutorials make financial concepts more concrete and intuitive. A variety of exercises spanning a wide range of business scenarios allow learners to further hone their skills and verify understanding.

Fluent in Finance focuses on the financial topics most relevant to business managers. The program has six chapters of rich media tutorials and case studies that learners can access on demand.

The material was presented in a way such that I am finally able to interpret the implications of a financial statement.
