The Centre for Finance, Technology & Entrepreneurship (CFTE) today announced the launch of its annual Black Friday Learning Window, offering 20% off all online courses from 24 November to 5 December 2025. The initiative is designed to support professionals, institutions, and global financial organisations as they prepare for a rapidly evolving AI-driven landscape.
As artificial intelligence reshapes financial services — from risk management and compliance to operations, payments, and customer engagement — demand for practical, industry-aligned AI capabilities is at its highest level to date. CFTE’s Black Friday access window offers a unique opportunity for individuals worldwide to build these essential skills ahead of 2026.

AI in Finance Specialisation
Generative AI 360 in Financial Services
Executive AI Certificate
Fintech Foundation Specialisation
Open Banking & Digital Payments
Digital Assets & CBDCs
Supercharged Professionals (AI Mastery Programme)
All programmes are online, self-paced, and designed to equip professionals with immediately applicable skills for the changing financial ecosystem.
Addressing a Growing Capability Gap
Throughout 2025, CFTE has observed a clear pattern across financial institutions, regulators, and fintech organisations:
AI adoption is accelerating, but AI fluency among professionals is lagging behind.
New regulatory guidance in multiple jurisdictions has introduced expectations around AI literacy, governance, and responsible deployment. Financial institutions are redesigning workflows around automation and augmentation, creating new requirements for technical and strategic skills among employees.
“Building AI-ready organisations starts with building AI-ready people,” said Tram Anh Nguyen, Co-founder of CFTE. “This learning window comes at a critical moment, as finance professionals around the world plan their upskilling strategies for 2026.”
