SECA Private Equity Online Training Sessions 2026

The Swiss Private Equity and Corporate Finance Association (SECA) offers a series of training sessions for professionals interested in private equity to grow their competencies.

 

We offer members and non-members nine (independent) training sessions designed for a wide audience. Newcomers can build their knowledge thanks to synthetic and practical modules directly from private equity experts. More established professionals, in finance, banking, insurance and pension funds, as well as account managers and middle and back-office staff, can deepen their knowledge.
