Testimonials
The reason why I chose AZEK is on the one hand the combination of self-study and face-to-face teaching, but on the other hand also the relation to the Swiss and European financial market and the regulator. With the FMT and FMO, AZEK offers a very focused course of study that appealed to me personally. During the lessons, we discussed the subject matter using very practical examples, which in turn helped me to understand the course content very well and to retain it in my memory in the long term. We were provided with documents that were very well prepared and easy to understand. Due to a sound knowledge base, the knowledge I gained helps me to recognize the connections between the processes and to make decisions in daily business.
