First Finance reaches out to City clients

First Finance was created 10 years ago in France to fill a gap in the market: the lack of specialised training courses in the field of corporate finance and investment banking. Today, First Finance trains more than 6,500 delegates a year on all technical aspects of corporate investment banking and asset management. Delegates from banks such as Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, UBS, and Société Générale have praised First Finance's ability to transmit immediately operational knowledge.

First Finance offers 100 public courses in London, runs tailor-made training solutions and manages large training projects for global companies.  The public courses epitomise the First Finance motto: training is not just academic but hands on, offering real skills and knowledge that can be applied day-to-day back in the office. 

First Finance trainers include educational experts, with relevant industry experience, as well as a large network of 150 consulting lecturers, enabling the provision of both breadth and depth of knowledge, experience and training expertise.

Many of First Finance's clients are global and predominantly located in the City of London.  This encouraged First Finance to set up operations on Monument Street in the City, deepening the relationship with existing clients and offering the opportunity to reach out to new clients within London’s strong financial services cluster.  London already is proving an excellent base for First Finance to attract new business from Asia and the Middle East and First Finance intend to capitalise on that trend and to become as global as its customers.
