If you have been working as a professional in the investment industry and are looking to make the move to become a chartered financial analyst, Varsity Tutors is here to offer multiple approaches to Houston CFA preparation that could help you head into exam day with the skills and confidence you need to succeed. Before attempting to earn your credential by taking the CFA exams, you must have a bachelor's degree, as well as four years of full-time experience as a professional in a job that involves making investment decisions. Once this requirement has been met, you are permitted to take the first of three Levels of the CFA exams, which are designed to ensure that you have a strong grasp of portfolio management skills and advanced investment analysis.
What types of subject and skills can Houston CFA prep cover?
There are a variety of topics covered by the three Levels of the CFA but 10 major subject areas that all of the questions fall into, including economics, quantitative methods, ethical and professional standards, and corporate finance. Our CFA review options can help you go over all of this material and anything else that may be useful when exam day rolls around. One of the best ways to supplement your formal education, whether it occurred locally at a school like the University of Houston or elsewhere around the country, is by taking part in additional instruction that will keep the relevant material fresh in your mind.
No matter which prep approach you choose to go with, an experienced instructor can also help you learn what to expect from each Level of the exam, as well as the format and rules surrounding its administration. Levels I, II, and III of the CFA are taken sequentially, and you must pass the previous Level before moving onto the next. The first two Levels are made up of multiple choice questions, while the third also contains essays responses. Our services can help you improve your confidence with all the different question types you will see on the CFA, and you can also learn tips and strategies that often prove useful if you encounter a particularly tricky or difficult question.
What are the benefits to the different styles of Houston CFA prep?
There are two main services offered by Varsity Tutors: online courses and private instruction which can also be carried out in a virtual setting. They each have distinct benefits that you have the ability to decide between. Some individuals even combine them for a multi-layered approach.
For those who want something familiar and enjoy working as part of a class, there is a Houston CFA prep course. Courses take place entirely online, so they can be accessed from wherever you have an internet connection. Students and the instructor can share various perspectives and take part in discussions to help them determine the best ways to prepare. When you participate in a course, you also have the opportunity to request a one-on-one meeting with your instructor.
If you would prefer a more personalized learning environment, you might want to work with a Houston CFA tutor instead. This can be done over our Live Learning Platform which allows you the use of video chat and a virtual whiteboard. Otherwise, you can work with your instructor to schedule face-to-face sessions. Either way, they have the ability to evaluate your skills and customize their lesson plans to make sure your study time is spent as efficiently as possible. With this approach, you can work at your personal pace and receive regular feedback.
How do I sign up to get started with my Houston CFA prep option?
Any career that you attempt to establish yourself in will have certain barriers of entry, and one of the major barriers as you attempt to become a chartered financial analyst is earning a passing grade on the three levels of the CFA exams. As you go through the process of preparing for something that can have this big of an impact on the rest of your life, you will want to do everything in your power to give yourself the best chance at success. This includes seeking out assistance if you so desire. If either of the approaches to Houston CFA prep that are offered by Varsity Tutors appeals to you as exam day nears, please contact us online or by phone to get the ball rolling. You can get answers to any questions you have from our educational consultants, who can also help you get signed up for the option of your choosing. Do not hesitate. Reach out today to get started.

Brad: Houston CFA test prep instructor
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.... I would talk about my learning habits with the student and refer them to some useful online/in person resources as well as ask questions to prompt independent thinking.
