Foundation Course
This Foundation Course has been developed as an introduction to the ABFA's Distance Learning Programme. It is designed to assist staff to obtain a general understanding of the workings of the industry together with an increased awareness of client expectations and issues. The course is the first in a three-stage programme and focuses on the general operating procedures. It will allow participants to relate the course material directly to their own organisation whilst increasing their awareness of general industry practices.

Certificate Course
The ABFA Certificate programme has been developed as an extension from the Foundation course and is designed as both a stepping-stone to the Diploma programme, and is a professionally recognised qualification in its own right. The course content is similar to the Diploma, but does not go into the same depth.
Diploma Course
The ABFA Diploma is equivalent to a first year UK undergraduate degree and is the final stage of the ABFA's distance learning programme. The recently updated course consists of Financial Understanding, the Residential Week, and the Operational and Legal Module (comprised of optional sub modules, either the Operational Aspects of Invoice Finance and Legal Aspects of Invoice Finance or the Operational Aspects of ABL and Legal Aspects of ABL).
