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

Take action now! It is never too early or too late to start preparing. Join thousands of CFA candidates worldwide in making us your preferred prep companion!

I am prepping for CFA Level3. I passed CFA Level 1 and CFA Level 2, like 8 years ago, and was looking for a refresher for all key concepts. I have found this whole series offered by Prep Nuggets exceptionally helpful in re-enforcing the concepts through visual aid that are excellent!

By Disha Devidas on 2/21/2022

Its really good . I am from non finance background but I am able to follow. You can just first watch this video of each section and than solve from books and videos are useful for quick revision.

By Mew cheong on 2/9/2022

Course material: 10/10, responsiveness: 9/10 (some delay but what more could you ask for?) bonus: theres questions section where you can see what people need help with and you could inspire yourself what to look for too. btw. video has subtitles if needed. Keith's course was so amazing, no bias, I first learnt about prep nuggets through youtube videos when I was frastrated with some concepts. Thats how I ended up with buying the whole courses because instead of reading books myself, when I see concept I couldnt grasp of, its way better and time saver to go with prep nuggets. discliamer, I am not any finance students. His video is condense yet easy to understand and straight to the point. I really had 20% time for studying 80% of the materials. Futhermore, Keith is so helpful and responsiveness when you need any help or assistance.

It is a huge time-saver. I was earlier struggling to understand the CFA concepts through the original CFA material mainly because the material was dense and overly populated with theories which are harder to retain. So, not only I was investing a handsome amount of time, but also energy. However, this course has done a great favour to me as in comparatively very less amount of time, I will be able to complete one whole volume of CFA i.e., Quants. Kudos to you and your team. I am also looking forward to buying other volume courses from you as well, as it will help me cover everything in a very limited amount of time which sits well with my MBA curriculum.

I am not taking this for CFA course. I have plans to invest in US stock market but I have no prior financial knowledge plus the financial literacy of general public in my country is bad so I have to take up this course to improve it. I've thought of it more as a chore when I was buying it but the teacher here really sparked my interest especially when I know how to calculate the IRR of a complicated investment scheme. A huge thank you!
