Do you want to enhance your CV with certifications in the economic and financial field?
FactSet and LSEG Workspace offer certification programs on how to use their platforms.
On this page, we explain how to access them.
Factset
FactSet offers students the opportunity to earn several certifications for free, organized into various thematic tracks that can be chosen according to individual interests.
Each learning track is structured into eLearning modules that conclude with a final quiz. Once the quiz is passed, students can obtain a digital badge to add to their CV and LinkedIn profile.
The video content is designed for flexible use: it can be paused and resumed at any time, allowing, for example, gradual learning (even just a few minutes per day). As for the final quiz, a maximum of two attempts are allowed.
How to get access to certification tracks
- Check out the full offering on the dedicated page: FactSet Certificates.
- Log in with your FactSet account. You can create one on your own (also for platform use) at this link.
- Choose the track that interests you, follow the learning materials, and complete the final test.
- Download your certificate.
LSEG Workspace
LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group), through its LSEG Academy – Learning Centre, offers a series of online certification programs designed to develop skills in financial markets, data analysis, and risk management.

How to get the certifications
