If you are looking for a Minneapolis CFA prep course, you've come to the right place. Varsity Tutors offers prep courses for anyone looking to obtain their Chartered Financial Analyst credential. Our courses are designed to help you get a more complete understanding of the content on the CFA exam. Everyone in the Minneapolis area is welcome to enroll in our courses whether you attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, the University of Saint Thomas, or another institution.
What are some topics that a Minneapolis CFA course can cover?
The Chartered Financial Analyst credential indicates that someone has a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and portfolio management.
The CFA credential requires you to pass three exams, each with a slightly different structure. The specific content on the exams changes every exam cycle, but they are always based on the same topics.
In order to sit for the next exam in the sequence, a test taker needs to have a passing result for the previous exam. The CFA exam provides a result of "pass" or "does not pass" rather than a numerical score.
Some of the topics that will be covered in a CFA course include ethical and professional standards, quantitative methods, economics, financial reporting and analysis, equity investment, and corporate finance.
Each of the exams is six hours, split into two equal sections. An instructor can help you to find ways to remain focused throughout the whole exam. Instructors can help you learn ways to manage your test anxiety.
What are the benefits of a Minneapolis CFA class?
There are many benefits to enrolling in a CFA prep course. The instructors are experts on the CFA exam. They will be able to explain the difficult concepts to you. Instructors will also be able to speak from experience about the CFA exam, to ensure that you are properly prepared for the day of the exam.
Studying for the CFA exam in a class can be incredibly helpful. Since the students in CFA prep courses all come from unique life experiences, they will be able to explain concepts that are hard to understand in a unique way. Each person has their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of understanding content. Studying with other students means that there are more people with different strengths to explain things to each other.
The instructors will be able to help you to create a study schedule that works for you. They can help you to determine which concepts you understand, and which topics you are struggling with and need to work on for more time. Working together with an instructor, you will be able to cover all of the content. When studying independently, many people will over-prepare in certain sections while neglecting others, and a prep course decreases the likelihood that this happens.
The Minneapolis CFA classes are entirely online. This allows students the freedom to attend classes from anywhere that they have an internet connection. This is helpful for people who are busy with their daily obligations and would not be able to attend an in-person course. Using an online whiteboard, and a webcam, you are able to see and hear everything that is being said and done. The instructor can answer your question in real time. If you find yourself struggling with a topic, you can schedule one on one help from the instructor.
Participating in an online course forces you to dedicate time to studying. The accountability that comes with being part of a classroom environment can be very helpful for people studying for the CFA exam. The scheduled time that the class meets helps to ensure that you are spending time studying.
The strategy of how you study is going to depend upon which of the CFA exams you are taking. If you are taking the first exam, your studying should focus on multiple choice questions. The second exam focuses on case studies, followed by multiple choice questions. The final exam is a combination of essay responses and case studies. An instructor can help you to ensure that you are accurately prepared for the exam you are taking.

Brad: Minneapolis CFA course 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.
