“I found the Kaplan course for the CFA exam incredibly helpful for a number of reasons. Most importantly, we had a great teacher - engaging, enthusiastic, helpful, and highly exam-focused. I’m also grateful for his detailed, step-by-step approaches in teaching us how to answer exam questions. Also, the catch-up videos were very helpful for reviewing concepts and catching things I had missed in class!”  - SARAH PETERSON, Level I & II Alumni

“I saw CFA course of Kaplan as a very useful study partner that it help me much easier to prepare for the exam in an efficient way, it has save me a lot of time to understand the broad and heavy study materials as they teach in a very practical way and highlight the key examinable points.”  - LILY LANG, Level I, II & III Alumni

“Since my job requires a lot of travel, I don’t have time on self-reading, Kaplan’s slidepack, mindmaps book and question books helped me to master all concepts quickly. The revision course has further strengthened my knowledge and memory. The textbooks provided by course are very user-friendly by listing out all key points. Lecturer also provided lots of tips for students. I would highly recommend the course to you, especially for those who has regular business trip same as me.”  - CANDY ZHAN,  Level I & II Alumni

“I first joined Kaplan’s CFA education program in 2013 for Level II and continued with Level III in 2014. Half of the Level III exam is essay questions, which I had no idea what they were. Kaplan’s trainer instruction included both understanding of the course materials and exam skills. One is hard to pass this level without mastering either of them. By following his instruction step by step, I was managed to pass Level III. Needless to say, if there were Level IV, I would join Kaplan’s program for sure.”  - SIMON SHI, Level II & Level III Alumni
