Frequently Asked Questions
No - this program is about exploring finance careers. No prior experience needed.
No. EnterFinance is built so you take what's useful and skip what isn't. If you already know the basics, move quickly through the early modules and spend your time on the areas that are newer to you, like fintech, AI in banking, risk and compliance, or sustainable finance. The part most people in your position get the most from is what comes after the modules: the live activities, panels with people working in the sector, and CV, LinkedIn and interview support. You choose the modules and activities that match where you're at.
Yes - school, uni, TAFE, whatever stage you're at.
