Varsity Tutors is the only educational resource you need if you're looking for a comprehensive Miami CFA prep course. The Chartered Financial Analyst, or CFA, certification is given to individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree, have a minimum amount of financial industry experience, and have passed all three "Levels" of the CFA Exam. Only 150,000 people worldwide have this designation, letting clients know that they have both academic knowledge of the financial industry and the practical skills to translate that theoretical knowledge into practical portfolio management.
Each CFA test is numbered from I-III, and they must be taken in the proper sequence. All three tests last six hours, evenly split into morning and afternoon sessions, so you should have some familiarity with the process by the time you reach Level III. If you don't want to wait that long, enrolling in a Miami CFA class today can help you review both the academic concepts and test-taking strategies you'll want to know on exam day.
What can I go over during a Miami CFA course?
All three CFA Exams cover topics such as economics, corporate finance, equity investments, fixed income, and portfolio management, so what you study doesn't vary that much from test to test. However, higher Levels require a deeper understanding of these subjects. For example, the Level I test consists of 240 multiple-choice questions evenly divided between the two testing sessions. Each item has three answer choices, so your instructor can help you learn how to eliminate some of the wrong answers even if you aren't positive what the right one is.
The Level II Exam follows a similar structure, except that you have 120 vignette-based questions to answer. Each vignette could contain textual or graphical information, so you might want to take notes as you move along to more effectively digest all of the material presented. If you aren't already in the habit of taking notes as you read, your instructor can teach you the basics of active reading during your Miami CFA class sessions.
The Level III Exam uses a vignette-focused format during the afternoon session, but the morning session consists of 8-12 constructed response items. If you aren't confident in your writing skills, your instructor can demonstrate how to sketch out a quick outline to make it easier to include all of the information you originally intended to.
What are some of the benefits of enrolling in a formal Miami CFA course?
Each course consists of an expert instructor meeting with a group of students over our Live Learning Platform. We interview every instructor, so you can count on the tutelage of a great communicator with a strong command of the concepts covered on the CFA Exam. Asking for help is also as easy as raising your hand, as our platform offers video chat functionality for a more effective digital study experience.
Our Live Learning Platform is also mobile-compatible, so attending a session when you're between classes at a local college such as Florida International University or The University of Miami is just as easy as when you're at home. You don't need to worry about the efficacy of your digital study sessions either, as powerful features like a virtual whiteboard make you feel as though you're attending a traditional class without all of the associated stress.
You can also see and hear your classmates during your course, creating a collaborative learning environment where everyone can work together toward their academic and professional goals. For instance, you might explain quantitative methods to a classmate who's having a hard time with the topic. Alternatively, one of your new friends might share a mnemonic device that helps you remember how to properly report financial transactions. Working in a group also gives you great value for your hard-earned money.
We also try to make our services as adaptable as possible. If you feel like you're lagging behind your peers on a particular topic, you can arrange one-on-one time with your instructor outside of normal class meeting times to catch up. We also offer two- and four-week classes to make it easier for busy students to find something that works for them. New classes launch on a monthly basis, so you never need to wait too long before getting started.

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.
