The charter offers a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills required to succeed in the profession. The CFA Program exam actually consists of three different exams: Level I, Level II, and Level III. The CFA Institute offers all three tests annually in June, and the Level I exam is also given each December. Each candidate who sits for a CFA Program exam is provided with either a "pass" or "did not pass" exam result, and after candidates receive their exam results and pass, they may register for the next level. No matter which level you are preparing for, Varsity Tutors has you covered.
The CFA exam content, learning focus, and question format increase in complexity which each level, so it's important to be prepared for the level you intend to take. In order to register for the first of the three CFA exams, you will need to either have completed a bachelor's degree or be in your final year of college, have four years of professional full-time work experience, or have a combination of college and professional experience totaling at least four years. To take the Level II exam, you are required to have passed the Level I exam and completed your bachelor's degree. Finally, before sitting for the Level III exam, you must pass the Level II Exam. The exams cover relevant topics that span corporate finance to portfolio management. No matter where you are at in your studies, it may benefit you to seek the assistance of a San Diego CFA prep course.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a San Diego CFA class?
One of the main advantages of the CFA classes we can set you up with is they take place during the day, evenings, and even on weekends. With new sections beginning on a monthly basis, and the option to choose between two-week and four-week sessions, you should be able to find something that fits your busy schedule. Additionally, each San Diego CFA class takes place on a totally online, virtual platform that allows you to see, hear, and even interact with your instructor and your peers just as if they are in the room using video chat and online whiteboard functions. This allows you to cut out the hassle and time you might spend on a lengthy commute to and from class and work from your own home or another comfortable environment free of distractions to enhance the learning process.
Throughout your classes, you may be able to learn alongside other aspiring professionals, which will, in turn, expose you to a wide range of perspectives during group activities. You will be able to receive immediate feedback from both your classmates and instructor and can even request more clarification on issues that you may be having trouble with such as quantitative methods and fixed income. While working collaboratively is also an engaging way to reinforce and review material, you can also request one-on-one time with your instructor for more individualized learning.

I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.
