Course Description

That is why we have crafted for you this complete series of 10 courses covering all 10 topics of the CFA curriculum. These courses are not superficial summaries, but a detailed and concise coverage of the curriculum for each topic area.
We keep our videos short so as to help you follow the Pareto Principle. We believe that if you put in the optimal 20% effort using the right approach, you can potentially achieve 80% of the results!
The PrepNuggets approach is to condense pertinent material from the curriculum to easily digestible nuggetsfor you to consume during your pockets of free time. Each nugget is painstakingly crafted to explain really complex concepts using engaging illustrations and animations.
No more wading through pages and pages of words, or sitting through long boring lessons with bullet-point slides.

Good One

By Maulik Joshi on 9/8/2020

Probably one of the best courses on Udemy. The audio-visual content is the main USP of this course. This helps greatly in understanding toughest of the FI concepts. For few of the points, it felt a quicker video and missing the detailed content but overall a great satisfactory experience. I am looking forward to enroll other CFA courses. Thumbs up!

By Mario on 9/8/2020

Excellent course. The use of multimedia effects, video, colors, images make the content easier and faster to understand. Absolutely recommended.
