Company Summary

BlueBook Academy is an online school to help people get job-ready without debt, and then help them find jobs.

We are at the centre of 3 megatrends: knowledge as a currency, return on education and continuous learning. Our fast growing global learner network are made up of school leavers, professional exam candidates, job-seekers. Our current focus is finance training.

We show a job-seeker which skills are needed for available jobs and then prompt them to take a relevant accredited course to acquire those skills. Start on a learning 'path', designed to give you the essentials to land your dream job. Study towards the CFA exam with interactive tutorials. Or start on a specific course and earn an accredited certificate for your LinkedIn profile and CV.

Courses are free to access with an option to get certified through a paid exam and verified certificate. Certified learners unlock access to curated job vacancies, access a professional network and receive affiliate product discounts.
