The instructor at FinanceTraining.ca helped me so much for my CFA Level I exam. He’s a very patient instructor and can explain the topics very clearly. Moreover, the instructor also taught us the strategy to tackle this long and exhausting exam. I really appreciate his help and definitely will use FinanceTraining.ca again for my future CFA exams.

Yvonne Chen, Senior Financial Analyst, Best Buy, Canada.

I took the class at FinanceTraining.ca in December 2016 for CFA Level I, less than 4 weeks before the exam without much preparation thinking I was going to have to retake the exam. But after attending several sessions, I began to think that I have a chance in passing. The class highlighted the most important points that have a higher chance to be tested in the exam. Emrul’s approach as a lecturer was so straight forward and efficient that he will let you know which contents are worth our time to study for and which ones are not. Based solely on his advice and materials that he claimed should be focused on, I studied efficiently and pour my time and energy on those topics and I passed level 1 on my first try. I really thought that if I didn’t attend Emrul’s class, I might have re-written level I last June instead of level II.

As someone who had limited studies in finance but is serious about taking the CFA level I exam, FinanceTraining.ca prep classes are an absolute must. The instructor provides a holistic overview that creates patterns in each major topic with personally crafted tools that make it easy to understand and to study. I passed level I on my first try by following Emrul’s instructions and putting all of my efforts into studying. Teaching without favorites or biases Emrul is willing to put in the effort to get all of his students to pass.

Yingcong Lao, Banking Advisor Intern, RBC

Deciding to take the CFA Level I course offered by FinanceTraining.ca has been one of my best decisions throughout my preparation for the exam. Because of the instructor’s exposure as a faculty member of finance, economics, and accounting at SFU and BCIT, he understands really well the best way to coach his students in this preparation program. He pointed out important concepts that we might forget to catch, was always available to answer questions, and never tired to support us throughout the process. As a result, I was able to understand the flow of the modules really well and able to pass my level 1 exam smoothly

I would recommend anyone who is taking the CFA level I exam for the first time to join CFA prep class by FinanceTraining.ca. My instructor, Emrul, has a fun and interactive teaching style and focuses on core themes that are key to passing the level I exam. Furthermore, he was great at identifying my weaknesses and finding the right strategy to improve upon them.

Emrul was my CFA Level I Exam Prep Course instructor as well as my university professor for several finance courses. He is very knowledgeable in finance and always provides real-life examples on how to apply those financial concepts. His passion for teaching helps students to pay attention and participate in class, but most importantly, his teaching method enables me to grasp and understand complicated concepts without extra effort. Emrul is also immediately available when off-school. He is keen to respond to question at all times, which reflects that he really cares about his students. During my undergraduate career, he is the best professor I have ever had and I really appreciate his effort in teaching.

The instructor at FinanceTraining.ca is one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had. He knows the CFA curriculum very well and points out the important topics to be tested in his condensed notes, which makes my exam preparation so much easier. If you are preparing for the CFA Level I examination, you must take this course. It is totally worth it.

Pauline Hui, Analyst, BOCI, Hong Kong

I took the CFA Level I course with FinanceTraining.ca taught just several weeks before the exam. I have to say the instructor is one of the most intelligent instructors I’ve ever had. During the course, he summarized important concepts and gave us tips to memorize complicated formulas, which is much easier than simply memorizing. He also taught us strategies on efficiently allocating time on questions since time is a challenge for most students in CFA exams. I am glad I took this class.

FinanceTraining.ca classes were unbelievably helpful to me during my CFA level 1 prep. The instructor was very encouraging to his students at FinanceTraining.ca and pointed us in the right direction instead of wasting hours of studying. The condensed notes and the mock exams, along with the extra hours he dedicated to me, have helped me pass level I in one try.

Fayassir Haqna, Equity Research Associate, PI Financial Corp.

As an accounting student, I have had the opportunity to further cultivate my education, gain insight into the finance industries, and appreciate the opportunities brought about with the completion of my level I CFA exam. This was largely attributable to FinanceTraining’s (Emrul’s in my case) weekly lessons and the individualized studying plan. This prep course exceeded my expectations in terms of the time that can be saved, and the knowledge that was obtained. I strongly recommend this CFA prep course for those that are seeking to take the next step up, and want to do it the smart way!

The instructor is an excellent professor and he connects the materials with our true life. He converted the boring stuff into something more tangible and realistic. The practice questions and mock exams he gave were quite helpful and really improved my understanding after he explained the hard questions. Not only in class, but he also answers our questions in his spare time. If you want to pass your Level I CFA exam on your first attempt, you should definitely sign up for this course.”

“I recently passed my CFA Level I exam in one try, thanks to FinanceTraining.ca. My instructor was Emrul and his teaching style was unique, very clear and always on point. He was more like a friend that was there to help us more than just a lecturer. The intense practices we did in class helped push my limits and really got me to give my best in the Level I exam. Studying alone is definitely hard, so I am glad that I took this course and made new friends on this journey.”
