Chartered Financial Analyst® - The CFA Program

Course structure
The course is structured over 28 days, two or three days per week. You will receive at least 15 hours of structured training each week – this will enable overseas students to comply with Home Office regulations for student visas.

The first 16 days are the Education phase. Every subject will be introduced from a basic level, with little background knowledge assumed. This is particularly true of accounting, as many students will not have a finance background. The classes are highly interactive, with lots of question practice and discussion, so that students benefit as much as possible from the course. It is expected that students spend at least a further 15 to 20 hours per week studying at home or in study groups. There is a Progress Test every few weeks: these are an excellent guide to how well you are doing so far – there is a strong correlation between your results on these tests and your actual exam, so it pays to get studying as early as possible! The Progress Tests also help Quartic decide who should receive the Quartic Scholarship.

The Revision phase follows, with ten days reviewing the entire curriculum again. The focus of this phase is on question practice and exam technique. By the end of the Revision phase you should feel confident in being able to answer exam-level questions.

A six-hour invigilated mock exam is then provided. Quartic Training will mark and grade these papers, with a full review afterwards.
