Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is the simulation free?

For the first month, yes, with no card: the simulation and the lessons of the three courses, without a certificate. After it, you choose your plan in the “Individuals” tab.

When do the lessons open?

When the content committee approves their content. The content committee is an automated review that records each lesson’s source. The lesson titles shown here are drafts awaiting the committee, and we give no date.

Is the certificate a professional accreditation?

No. It is a performance certificate from CFO+ that records what you did in the simulation. It carries a verification code, and the public page where an employer checks that code is “next”. The Academy is a training provider, not a professional or licensing body.

What do you not promise?

We do not promise:

  • A job.
  • A professional accreditation or a licence to practise.
  • Field experience on real books.
  • A university approval that no university granted in writing.
Can my company start without writing to you?

Not yet. The self-serve company account is “next”. Today you write to sales@cfoplus.ai and receive a written quote.

How does a company pay?

By an invoice our team issues in the company’s name; then the seats are activated. There is no payment provider on the site.

Are the photos of your students?

No. They are illustrative generated images, and each one says so beneath it. Only the platform screens are evidence of what we offer.

Can I take the Finance Lab without a university?

Yes, alone or in a group of 2 to 5, on either track: the graduation project or practical training. You leave with an achievement report and a coded certificate, which you may present to your department. The lab is “next”.

Who decides whether the lab counts at a university?

The university. It counts toward university training if the university approves it, and we do not write “approved” until a university approves it in writing.

Will employers see me?

Only if you open your door in the talent market, part of the paid plans once it opens. A company sees its own sector only, and your identity is revealed only after you accept its request.

How do I activate a paid plan?

Write to sales@cfoplus.ai and our team activates it on your same account, so you never start over.

Does Nashmi grade me?

No. The verdict on your work is the engine’s; Nashmi’s explanation is for clarity, neither a verdict nor advice. You can ask for any decision to be explained, appeal it, and escalate it for human review.

Who sees my data?

Your data is kept separate from every other trainee’s and organisation’s, and from your accounts in other CFO+ products. The diagnoses of your errors are not shown to anyone else.

What happens to students’ data?

We ask only for the template’s fields: name, email, institution, field, country and the consent confirmation. Do not send ID numbers, phone numbers or grades. Each student’s data stays isolated from the others’, and their progress reaches you only after they accept the seat and consent themselves. A student can withdraw consent by writing to support@cfoplus.ai.

How are students chosen?

If you send your list, the students are yours, and each accepts the seat themselves. If you have no students, we match you with students who asked for a sponsored seat, by the country, institution and field you state. If we find no match, we tell you in writing.

What does the progress report show?

From the engine’s record and with each student’s consent: the sessions completed, the gates passed and the certificate earned. Our team prepares it in writing, periodically. We promise no student a job. A live supporter dashboard is next.

How do the invoice and payment work?

You request your package in writing at sales@cfoplus.ai; we agree the terms with you in writing before any payment, and our team issues an official invoice in your organisation’s name. There is no payment on the site.

Are the courses free?

Their lessons are open in the free first month, without a certificate. After it they are in the 200 and 250 plans, with each course certificate.

Is a course certificate a professional accreditation?

No. It is a performance certificate from CFO+ that says what was measured: the six lessons and their exam, plus applied work in modelling and valuation.

Which course should I start with?

If you are starting work in finance, begin with professional conduct. Modelling does not suit you before you master entries and statements, which the simulation teaches.

How long does the simulation take?

You run your company for months of simulated time, and choose your pace: 5, 10, 15 or 20 transactions per working day.

Does Nashmi solve it for me?

No. He explains, asks and says where his words come from; the verdict is the engine’s.

What if I disagree with a verdict?

You can ask for the decision to be explained, appeal it and escalate it for human review. The verdict can be reproduced from its log.

Is there a certificate in the simulation?

A certificate for each stage from L1 to L7, in the paid plans. The free month has no certificate.

Is the certificate from a university or professional body?

No. It is from CFO+: a performance certificate that says what the engine measured. The Academy is a training provider.

Is there a certificate in the free month?

No. Certificates are in the 200 and 250 plans.

What does an employer see?

Only what you agreed to show, through the certificate code.

In which language is the certificate issued?

You choose at download: Arabic or English, with the same design in both.

Do I need a university to join the lab?

No. Door one needs no university: alone or with a group of 2 to 5.

Does it count toward my university training?

If your university approves it. The university decides.

What does the lab cost?

Student and department prices are by written quote via sales@cfoplus.ai. The professor’s account is Always free.

How is a student in a group judged?

Against what is correct for their own task, even if the team fails. The engine does not judge automatically where a human judgement is needed.

Does the employee know I see their results?

Yes. They are told in their invitation and on their screen that their results reach the company under their name.

Are our documents used outside our company?

No. The custom simulation is built with your consent, and only your employees use or see it.

Does our name appear on the certificate?

On the development certificate, with your recorded consent.

Is my name revealed?

Not before you accept the company’s request. You appear on the board under the name you choose, or not at all.

Is the market open now?

No. The live market is “next”, and we give it no date. These are the rules it will run by.

Does the platform guarantee me a job?

No. The platform carries the request and the answer; it does not broker hiring or promise a job.

What does a company pay?

Nothing. Free for companies.
