About
Motivation
We couldn't find trainings on the German regulatory environment in English, for our international colleagues joining our teams. In addition, the existing training was very theoretical. It wasn't focused on practical application, or on how modern banks and fintechs actually work. So I built it.
Mission
Hands-on banking and compliance training, taught in English. Built with input from hiring managers and compliance leads at fintechs and established banks, teaching what they wish they had known on day one. General understanding and practical skills you can apply immediately, so you can shift your career into the next gear.
Values
University teaches the theory. Banking jobs are about the doing, and that shift is where a lot of graduates struggle. And unfortunately, with continuing education during our careers, most seminars revert to the purely theoretical again. I believe training should stay practical for immediate use, at every stage of a career. It should be both engaging and accurate, and draw on the real-life perspectives of all kinds of different types of banks for the broadest understanding and application.
Promise
You learn the different types of banks and the roles within them, to see which truly fit you, so you can focus your applications and choose the career path you'll find most fulfilling. This bootcamp on your CV adds proof that you're proactive about learning your specialty. In an interview, you can talk knowledgeably and with confidence about the specific topics related to your chosen role. You are given the skills and tools you need to make an immediate positive impact on the job.

I'd love to hear from you. How can I help?
