The CFA Institute offers all three tests annually in June, and the Level I exam is also given each December.

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.
