STUDENT'S TESTIMONIALS

Hear directly from our students about the transformative impact of our programs on their personal and professional journeys.

" GearUp has been truly transformative in my educational and personal journey. One of the most significant achievements I attribute to GearUp is landing my very first internship. The guidance and mentorship I received not only helped me secure the opportunity but also prepared me to excel in a professional setting. It was through GearUp that I learned the importance and crafted a great CV and cover letter. The very first training I had was being enrolled in CFI's Financial Modelling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA) program, which laid the foundation for my financial acumen."
