CFASF'S CFA® LEVEL I OFFERINGS
(June Exam)

The first exam in the CFA® series requires candidates to demonstrate a thorough comprehension on a broad range of topics within Fundamental Investment Tools and Concepts. Disciplined study is needed to master the volume of material and pass this multiple-choice question exam.

CFASF Review Instructors put together their own Study Session Notes and construct multiple-choice questions from the important learning outcomes in each session. Our instructors are experts on the material and how it can be asked.

CFASF offers its popular CFA® Review course in two convenient formats: a weekly evening course (multi-week course) and a Saturday course. We also offer a mock exam and additional workshops. Click on the link below for more details about our offerings.
