CFA® Program - Education Phase
Available in London, Edinburgh & Dublin.
CFA® Phase 1 Education Courses
The CFA® Phase 1 Education Courses are designed to tackle the core concepts of the CFA® exam and help you understand the material so that your home CFA® study becomes far more effective. The focus on this CFA® course is developing your understanding of the material. The teaching is split into two blocks of days, evenings or weekends.
By adding your notes to the classroom slide packs and augmenting with the CFA Institute readings and Kaplan Schweser Study Notes you will find that your time spent note taking is reduced giving you more time to focus on CFA® question practice.
Our CFA® course materials are fully referenced to both the CFA Institute and Kaplan Schweser materials. Whilst we strongly recommend the use of Kaplan Schweser Study Notes in conjunction with the CFA Institute material, their purchase is not mandatory to sit one of our CFA® courses.
The Education Phases do not cover every Learning Outcome Statement (LOS). On a six day course this is simply impractical but what they do is focus on the key LOS to develop your understanding of each area and highlight the trickier concepts. A commitment to studying hard outside the classroom is essential to pass.
Any LOS not covered in class are available to Kaplan Financial Candidates as narrated Powerpoint presentations on our Ning social networking site. This ensures that classes can focus on the key material without candidates loosing full coverage of the syllabus.

Early start dates
One of the most difficult aspects of the CFA® Program is fitting your studies around both your work and social life. Traditionally most CFA® study programs commence in late January giving candidates little over four months to complete their studies. Kaplan Financial has introduced an early start weekend course in our London centres commencing in October for the June exam sitting. This allows candidates to spread their studies over eight months.
The teaching phase comprises of 42 hours of classroom based CFA® courses, choose between:
- Week Day CFA® courses: Six days (9am – 5pm)
- Evening CFA® courses: 16 evenings (London only 6pm – 8.30pm)
- Weekend CFA® courses: Six Saturdays (London only 9am – 5pm)
We realise that your work commitments make CFA® study difficult and endeavour to provide flexibility and allow students to change CFA® courses to catch up on missed lectures (subject to availability).
