Training programs
AIFI, through AIFI Ricerca e Formazione, organises specialised courses addressed to professionals and to people interested in working within the industry or requested by supervisory authorities as well as training activities dedicated to Italian institutional and private investors. Once a year the association coordinates a course that covers a wide range of subjects including a general and institutional overview of the private equity, venture capital and private debt markets as well as case histories of the investment activity in Italy. An important role played by AIFI is related to the analysis and updating of the most relevant novelties through the organisation of technical meet- ings and refresher courses that, in recent years, have been offered also in e-learning format.
