Easy to Navigate and Manageable

The F3 Financial Strategy course mainly focuses on providing you with the building blocks that you need to learn how to prepare, implement and manage a financial strategy of an organisation, while also touching on investment decisions and financial analysis. The syllabus is broken down into three units; formulation of financial strategy (25%), financing decisions (30%) and investment decisions and project control (45%). These individual percentages will contribute to the final mark and will join the other modules (E1, P1, F1, E2, P2, F2, E3 and P3) to form the overall certificate.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
