Utilize online investment banking courses to keep your team sharp

Investment banking distance learning allows your employees to participate in continuing education courses right from your office. You won't have any travel expenses and the cost for investment banking online courses is generally lower than in-class programs.

I recommend: The Globecon Group provides customized investment banking industry distance learning solutions for your business. TrainUp.com offers basic investment banking online courses. Wall Street Corporate Finance Academy offers webinars that include personal interaction with the instructor.

Groom your brightest young employees with an investment banking course

Send those rookie analysts and recent college grads back to school to become your investment bankers of the future. Although the most intense programs are in-class, you can find some good online investment banking training programs and a few distance learning courses in investment banking.

I recommend: Wall Street Prep offers a self-study program for investment banking. If you're located in New York City, The Institute for Finance Education and Career Advancement offers an in-class program in Manhattan. The Investment Banking Institute offers in-class, intensive programs in New York, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Expand your employees' skills with an online financial planning course

You can offer your clients more than investment banking advice by having Certified Financial Planners on staff. CFPs can help your clients with employee benefits planning, estate, gift and transfer tax planning, and asset protection.

I recommend: Kaplan Continuing Education offers investment banking distance learning programs, including coursework to prepare students to take and pass the CFP exam. The College for Financial Planning offers online and self-study programs to prepare students for the CFP exam.
