Varsity Tutors can help you get connected with a private Madison CFA tutor or set you up with an online course to help you get through the required materials you need to earn your certification. If you've earned a degree in finance or business, you might have thought about becoming a CFA so help clients manage their funds. The CFA covers topics that you've likely already learned in school, whether you attended Edgewood College, the University of Wisconsin, or another institution. By having a complete review before you take the test, you can get a comprehensive look at what's covered, and feel more confident before you go in. You can choose between an online Madison CFA prep course or get help from a private tutor, and get more up-to-date information than you would on your own.
What topics are covered during Madison CFA prep?
The CFA, or Certified Financial Analyst, is a credential given by the CFA Institute. You are eligible to take the exam if you've graduated with a bachelor's degree, had four years of professional experience, or four years of both college and professional work within the industry. Levels I and II both have multiple-choice questions. Level II adds in vignettes or case statements, and Level III includes both essay work and vignettes.
During the Madison CFA prep, you need to know not only the format, but also the content, and what sorts of questions are commonly included. Because there's no penalty for guessing on multiple-choice questions, it makes sense to use the process of elimination and figure out which questions to pick based on the wording in cases where you're not sure of the answer. Your Madison CFA prep instructor can help you learn the best strategies and figure out how to spend your time accordingly.
What are the benefits of the different types of CFA prep?
There are two types of prep that Varsity Tutors can help you get set up with: online classes or private instruction. While most students prefer one over the other, you can do both if you think you would benefit from the extra help. Each one has its own unique benefits, and you'll get accurate, up-to-date information from a trustworthy instructor. Here are the benefits of both types of Madison CFA prep.
If you like working in a classroom with other students, you might enjoy a Madison CFA prep class. Here, you can see and interact with your instructor and fellow students in real time, using video chat and an online whiteboard through the Live Learning Platform. You can learn in-depth with others as your instructor covers topics such as Equity Investments and Fixed Income. If you have questions, you can get immediate feedback and even discover other points of view, as you work together with your fellow classmates. And should you ever run into issues or want additional help, you can arrange to meet with your instructor outside of class for one-on-one assistance, so you don't get overwhelmed before moving on to the next topic.
If you'd rather study through private instruction, we can help you connect with a Madison CFA tutor. This allows you to spend your time as you see fit. Your CFA mentor can find out what your strengths and weaknesses are, and tailor your lesson plans around them. If you prefer to learn through visual aids or lectures, your instructor can offer those as part of your learning experience. If you would rather skip over certain topics or speed up the class, that's possible, too. For example, if you'd rather focus on Alternative Investments and skip over Quantitative Methods, the instructor can ensure you're only spending time on those topics.
How can I get started with Madison CFA preparation?
Whether you choose to work in a class, with a private tutor, or both, you can feel confident your lessons will be led by an instructor who is knowledgeable about the CFA and knows the most up-to-date formats and methods to help you make the most of your study time. Because the scheduling is flexible and takes place online, you can make time to study for your prep even if you're busy, since you can cut out the commute. If you're ready to get started on the right foot and find out how professional Madison CFA prep can help you, give Varsity Tutors a call. Our educational consultants can answer your questions and help you work through your options so you can choose the best method for you.
