If you're looking to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Varsity Tutors can help you on your professional journey by setting you up with a Tucson CFA prep program designed to help you get ahead. Becoming a CFA takes a lot of work. Not only do you have to pass three exams, but you also need to have acquired a bachelor's degree and have four years of work experience in a career that involves making investment-related decisions. Because of the amount of content covered on these exams, a lot of students struggle with test prep and enroll in lessons to help them prepare. Even finance graduates who attended top institutions like the University of Arizona have struggled with becoming a CFA. You can make your professional journey easier by working with a private tutor or enrolling in a Tucson CFA prep course. Let's look at how these programs can help you succeed.
What concepts will be covered during Tucson CFA prep?
The CFA prep program comes in two versions: private lessons with a personal tutor and online courses. The method of instruction is slightly different between the two choices, so choosing the perfect one you depends largely on your preferred learning styles and what you're looking to gain from the program. With that said, both methods of instruction are designed with the same goal in mind--to help you prepare for becoming a CFA. As such, you can expect both program types to cover all of the essential material you'll need to know in order to receive your CFA credentials. Let's look a little deeper at what you can expect from your prep program.
Along with education and working experience, you'll need to pass CFA Levels I, II, and III. These are three sequential exams that assess your knowledge and understanding of skills and principles working CFAs use in their day-to-day operations. Because the exams are sequential, you'll need to take all three assessments in order, and you must pass the previous exam before you can take the next. Openings for the Level I exam are typically available in June and December. A prep program can help you review for these exams, covering topics like Ethical and Professional Standards, Economics, Corporate Finance, and various other financial concepts CFAs are expected to know.
Enrolling in a CFA prep program is also a great way to prepare for the testing format. Your tutor or instructor can help you improve your time management and test-taking skills, which can help you as you work through the multiple-choice questions on Levels I and II. Along with multiple-choice questions, the Level III exam also has essay-style questions. A prep program can help you with this as well, teaching you how to think critically and draw upon your knowledge and experience to give thorough answers.
What are the benefits of the different types of Tucson CFA prep?
Are you someone who enjoys learning through engaging lectures? If so, you might want to consider enrolling in a Tucson CFA prep class online. Using smart tools like video chat and virtual whiteboards, you'll be able to follow a professional instructor as they cover important concepts that you should know when preparing for your exams. Best of all, since you're learning in a virtual classroom with people also preparing for the CFA exams, you have the opportunity to engage in classroom discussions and even work as a class to solve problems and exchange ideas and helpful information.
Working with a private Tucson CFA prep tutor is a great way to customize your learning experience. Private instruction gives you the chance to focus on specific areas of your test prep. This means you can target key weaknesses, devote your time to specific concepts like Portfolio Management or Equity Investments, or study for a specific Level of the CFA exam. Of course, you can still opt for a generalized learning experience like you'd receive in prep classes if you want. Just tell your tutor what your goals and desired outcomes are and they'll come up with the right study program for you.
How can I get set up with Tucson CFA preparation?
If you're tired of self-study and are looking for a new way to prepare for the CFA Levels, we're happy to help. All you have to do is contact Varsity Tutors and ask for more information about the available Tucson CFA prep options. One of our educational consultants is happy to answer any questions you have and will even enroll you in the next prep course or help you find a local tutor, whichever you prefer.
