iFinance Academy partnered with Merchant Payments Ecosystem (MPE) to create a content development survey. Your opinion matters, so we made this survey with the ambition to better align our eLearning opportunities with client expectations.
Over 81% of you voted to receive the results of the survey, so please read on as we dissect the data.
What courses did you vote for the most?
