• CFTE SHIME Assessment

  • Welcome to the CFTE SHIME assessment!

    The SHIME assessment helps to assess how well equipped you are for the Fintech Industry and where your strengths are using the SHIME framework.

    The assessment will take less than 10 minutes to complete.

  • What is the SHIME framework?

    The SHIME framework consists of a series of attributes needed to be in the Fintech Industry - Soft skills, Hard skills, Industry knowledge, Mindset and Experience.

    If you'd like to find out more about the SHIME framework, click here.

     

    How does the SHIME assessment work?

    The SHIME assessment consists of 2 components:

    1. An initial self assessment by you to determine your hard skills, industry knowledge and experience. These skills are straightforward and can easily be self assessed.

    2. A second assessment to be completed by a friend / associate to assess your soft skills and mindset As both of these skills are more judgement based can can be self-biased, having a friend who knows you to assess these areas would be a more fair and accurate method.

    The second assessment can be accessed upon completion of the initial self assessment.

     

    How will i get my results?

    Upon completion of both of the components of the SHIME assessment, a report will be sent to your email.

  • Hard Skills

    One of the components of the SHIME framework is the hard skills. Hard skills are those that can be examined and assessed through an exam or project such as a programming language. While many associate Fintech roles with Tech roles, there are also non-tech roles that fall under this category showcasing the opportunities in Fintech with the right skills which contrast with programming such as a product manager applying design thinking, or a compliance officer experienced in Anti Money Laundering regulations.
