Colleagues,
MFI Resources is excited to invite you to attend one of the upcoming Business Planning with Microfin trainings. Both of these trainings are offered due to popular demand from previous trainings. The online training was offered in December 2016 and the Ghana in-person training was offered in March 2017. The online training is offered June 26-30, 2017 at UTC 03:00 and UTC 13:00 and the onsite training in Accra, Ghana July 11-14, 2017. This will be the last time Microfin training will be offered in Africa this year, although trainings are being planned for Central America and South America in October 2017.
Microfin is the most widely used financial planning and budgeting software in use world-wide for the microfinance industry. Howard Brady took over the development and primary training of Microfin in April 2016, and is the trainer in both of the events mentioned above. The software remains free and can be downloaded along with tutorial videos and the Using Microfin 4 manual here.
Further details about the online course - Registration cost increases NEXT WEEK:
The online course uses the GoToTraining platform which allows participants to interact with each other as well as the facilitator. Participants will see Microfin in action on their computer screens and hear the workings of it explained before being provided time to work through the Microfin case study each day for two hours during the week. After each session, the audio and video recordings will be made available for download for future reference, if needed.
Ten hours of training will be given, two hours each day for each time slot. Two time slots are chosen to provide opportunities for individuals wishing to participate from both hemispheres. The first time slot is UTC 03:00 on June 26, 2017. To convert this to your local time, please visit this link:
