Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our courses and services
As an official CFA Institute prep provider, we don't "teach the slides." Our classes are deep-dive, example-rich sessions that make concepts stick and become usable in real life, not just in exams. Every topic is taught with real company cases, spreadsheet work, and heavy practice, so knowledge becomes "application-ready," not memorized trivia. With 25+ years of mentoring means we know how to get students from diverse backgrounds to genuine mastery. Data-driven practice: Percentile + accuracy after every mock to benchmark you against real peers. Hands-on exam craft: We obsess over calculator mastery (to the 6th decimal!) and exam-speed execution.
Yes. Many working professionals and students plan a 9–12 month runway instead of compressing everything into six months. Our formats, summaries, and modular practice let you adjust weekly intensity without compromising full coverage. The method encourages sustained effort, so even with a job or college load, your prep compounds.
Absolutely. We routinely teach mixed cohorts - some are strong in numbers, others in judgment, some new to Accounts/QM/Eco. We start with foundations and then move quickly into real-life applications. The design is inclusive and customized to your starting point, so you're never left behind.
Cheaper programs often cut hours and application work, which looks efficient but costs more in re-attempts and lost career upside. Our pricing reflects depth, personalization, and real-world readiness. You're not paying to "finish the syllabus"; you're investing in mastery that compounds - for the exam, interviews, and your first year on the job.
Our philosophy is to help you command higher roles and packages by being job-ready from day one. We target the upper band of fresher opportunities by training you to apply knowledge immediately (not just recite it). Result: stronger interviews, faster ramp-up on the job, and long-term career momentum.
