How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment.
Corporate finance qualification offered by the CISI and ICAEW
These are the units Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. It does the teaching and the mapping. Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Pitch it Evaluate
“Mergers & Acquisitions and Market Regulations” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Corporate Finance Strategy & Advice” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Financial Reporting and Financial Statements Analysis” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
