Financial Arena is one of the first training providers globally that offers preparatory seminars for individuals that want to get the FAST Standard Level 1 Certification and demonstrate their competence in financial models using the FAST Standard.
We believe that financial modeling skills require a structured approach and it is not just about good Excel knowledge. Any serious modeller, no matter the industry he is involved, needs to be able to design and construct a solid spreadsheet model by following a standardised, structured approach. Top managers seek to get useful insights and make key decisions based on a properly created model.
We are signatories to The FAST Standard as we believe financial models built and maintained according to the FAST Standard significantly increase efficiency and reduce risk.
We are an accredited training centre for The FAST Standard Level 1 Certificate and our FAST Standard seminars material has been reviewed and accredited by The FAST Standard Organisation(FSO).
We believe that the core principles within the FAST Standard can be applied to all types of Excel modelling to reduce the risk of using spreadsheets within critical business processes.
We are passionate about encouraging all Excel users to take a standardised approach to using Excel within their organisations.
The FAST Level 1 Certificate is evidence of an individual’s understanding of the FAST Standard and the application of the Standard in building spreadsheet models that are flexible, appropriate, structured and transparent.
