NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fitch Learning, the global leader in financial learning and professional certifications, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Moody’s Analytics Learning Solutions (MALS) and the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI). MALS is a global provider of credit and digital learning, and CSI is a leading provider of certifications for the Canadian financial services industry.

Fitch Learning, recognized globally as the premier financial education provider, delivers specialized training for the financial services industry through accredited qualifications, flexible corporate solutions programs, managed services and digital learning solutions trusted by leading institutions worldwide.

The combined business will provide learners with access to an expanded suite of solutions covering commercial and consumer banking, credit risk, wealth and investment management, investment and corporate banking, professional skills as well as data analytics and AI.

The CSI brand will continue, as will its stewardship of the industry’s renowned certifications and designations. The MALS brand will be retired, and its solutions will be offered as part of Fitch Learning’s portfolio.
