Course Description
Bestselling and Highest Rated CFA® courses on Udemy!
When selecting a CFA prep course, make sure that it has been updated to the latest curriculum. All PrepNuggets courses have been updated to the latest 2023 CFA Level I curriculum.
The CFA® program is rewarding but gruelling. The majority of candidates fail the exam. In order to pass, you are going to need much more than summaries or crash courses. But we can fully empathise if you feel the curriculum is too lengthy and too difficult given your busy schedule.
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 nuggets for 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.
By the end of this course, we are confident you will be able to comfortably handle at least 80% of the questions under this topic area.
Don't take our word for it! Hear what some of our students have to say:
"This is an INCREDIBLY useful course for visual learners. The concepts are clear and concise. You will begin to see the relationships between concepts as you progress. Excited for the rest of this course and the other courses in the rest of the series." - Andrew Bachman
"One of the best courses I've seen, if not the best. Prepnuggets staff know how to pass on knowledge, both by visualization and by verbal explanations. Excited to finish this course and continue to other courses." - Lidor Sigron

The best provider. You will need some other resources to support the reinforcement of memorisation, but in terms of bringing one from 0 to 1 (from knowing nothing to having a concrete idea of what's going on), PrepNugget is GEM, and it totally saves your time in understanding the materials.

It goes little faster. I had to replay few session again and again. Or I have to be too much alert to grasp everything on fly.
By Tulyada on 5/18/2021
It is a though and long study, however he can present and teach qutie easy to understand but there is some part that he speaks fast and you may not catch up the material. Pretty good lesson.
By Barak Marx on 3/2/2021
This course is by far the best summary of the CFA curriculum. The whole package provided by prepnuggets should give you a very good basis to understand all the material in a good way. Highly ! Highly ! recommended

Superb

The best course ever, I love it
By Anonymized User on 9/20/2020
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!

bite of confusing, but good back ground
