Studying for the CFA might be tough, but Varsity Tutors can help with a Washington DC CFA prep course. The CFA Institute is the issuing body of the CFA certification, and becoming a CFA can help you work as a respected professional within the investment and financial world. In case you were wondering, CFA stands for Charted Financial Analyst. There are only about 150,000 people worldwide who hold this certification, and the assessment protocol is very strict. Many CFAs work in high-level positions at some of the biggest financial companies in the world.
The CFA exam focuses on skills related to managing portfolios, investment analysis, and other advanced concepts. In order to attain the CFA certification, you need to pass all three exams, hold a bachelor's degree, and complete four years of related work experience. Although the exams are just one component of your certification, they're crucial to the overall process. You'll need to study hard, and a prep course might be one of the best choices you can make.
The CFA exam attracts people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Some might be approaching this exam as a working professional after completing four years of related work experience. Some might be coming directly from BAU International University or Georgetown University after obtaining a bachelor's degree. Still others might have a mixture of both work experience and university education. Whatever the case may be, a prep course can help you get on track with your studying, and reach for your full potential.
What Might I Learn With A Washington DC CFA Course?
The CFA exams are split into three levels, and you need to pass the previous level in order to advance to the next one.
Your Level 1 CFA exam takes a total of six hours to complete. This exam is split into two sections of three hours, with one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The format for this exam is fairly straightforward, as each section is comprised of 120 multiple choice questions. Your Level 2 CFA exam contains 120 questions in total, and it's also split into two sessions. Again, these are all multiple choice questions. Your Level 3 CFA exam comprises of an essay section in the first session, and then a multiple choice section to follow.
Once you understand the overall structure of the various CFA exams, you might be better equipped to reach for your highest goals. Your Washington DC CFA course can help you develop strategies and skills that could help you tackle the various question formats. For example, many of the multiple choice questions follow a sentence completion format. Your prep course might help you practice these kinds of multiple choice questions. You might also learn how to eliminate answers that are obviously incorrect through logical deduction. Your instructor could also help you learn how to keep an eye on time limits and skip questions that are taking up too much time.
Those are just a few techniques that your prep course might cover, and you could also review specific concepts such as derivatives, fixed income, corporate finance, and much more.
How Does A Washington DC CFA Course Help Me Learn?
These courses utilize a highly collaborative, interactive approach to learning. You'll join a virtual classroom alongside other students, and learn from a highly qualified instructor who knows this industry well. Throughout your sessions, you'll find it easy to chime in with questions and input. Your classmates can also voice their opinions, and this often leads to lively, productive class discussions. New ideas are exchanged, and fellow students may raise interesting points. You might find that other students ask questions that you never thought to ask. This approach has real benefits, and it could be especially conducive to your unique learning style. While instructors encourage the collaborative discovery of new concepts, you can also contact your instructor on a one-on-one basis if you need.
