Pass rates of the CFA exam have been historically low.
The CFA exams can be passed with self study only. Courses help our candidates to increase learning efforts. In partnership with Top Finance-Stalla and the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, the German CFA Society is proud to recommend three training options:
CFA Weekend Classes
If you prefer the structure of a fixed schedule and interaction with your instructor and local peers, these weekly classes offer you live, expert teaching and stimulating discussions. Live instructors provide you with individual attention and help dissect complicated material in a practical way.
These courses are best for those who learn better in a scheduled, completely focused environment. Expert-led lectures cover the most critical aspects of the CFA Program curriculum with a heavy emphasis on practical, intuitive problem solving.
