If you have a goal of getting a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential granted by the CFA Institute then Varsity Tutors can set you up with a Tampa CFA tutor or online course. To get a CFA credential you need to pass a series of three exams. But before you can take these exams, you must have both a bachelor's degree as well as a minimum of four years of professional experience in a full-time job that involves making decisions about investments. You can also have a combination of college and professional work experience totaling at least four years.
By taking a CFA prep course or working with a private academic mentor, you can receive a more in-depth review of what it takes to get a CFA credential than you would be studying for the exams on your own.
What concepts will be covered during Tampa CFA Prep?
If you are someone looking to get a CFA credential then you are not alone. The CFA credential is held by over 150,000 professionals around the world. In order to get the credential you'll have to take three sequential exams: CFA Levels I, II, and III. The exam will assess your knowledge of ethics and professional standards, investment tools, wealth planning, and more. You must pass one exam before moving on to the next.
The content, focus, and question format of the exams increase in difficulty with each Level. Level I consists of 240 multiple choice questions, Level II features 21 different case statements, and Level III consists of between 8 to 12 essay questions.
Anyone who is looking to get this credential should have a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills before taking on the exam. Therefore, it is easy to see why a prep course or tutor can help you with an overview of expected topics so you can be more confident heading into exam day. A course or private instructor can go over topics like quantitative methods, equity investments, financial reporting and analysis, and a lot more.
What are the benefits of different types of CFA Prep?
Varsity Tutors is able to set you up with two different kinds of CFA prep: an online Tampa CFA prep class or private, one-on-one instruction with a tutor. Whether you'd rather be in a familiar classroom setting or get catered instruction based on your individual needs, Varsity Tutors has you covered.
If you're familiar and comfortable with your days in a classroom at schools like the University of Tampa, University of South Florida, or another institution, then a Tampa CFA prep course could be an effective path for you. These prep courses offer collaborative environments that you will attend via a Live Learning Platform. You will take advantage of video chat and an online whiteboard in order to interact with your instructor and fellow students. Thanks to the Live Learning Platform, you can share your knowledge with your peers and instantly ask questions to your instructor, all from the comfort of your own home.
If you don't think a virtual classroom suits your learning abilities, then you might want to consider face-to-face instruction with your very own academic mentor. With a private instructor, you can work and learn at your own pace, address whatever weaknesses you think you may have, and help deepen your understanding of all the different topics that could potentially be found on the CFA exam. Not only will you be learning at your own pace with a private tutor, but they can also help you with different test-taking strategies that could help you work more efficiently during the exam, giving you confidence heading into exam day.
Many students prefer one option over the other but that doesn't mean your Tampa CFA prep has to be limited to just a course or private instructor. If you think you would like to supplement your online course learning with one-on-one help, then you can do each. And no matter which option you choose, you can feel confident that your instructor will be knowledgeable of the course material and format of the exam.
How can I set myself up for Tampa CFA preparation?
