Do you have any idea about good course provider..People should have actual industry experiance in these kind of courses
How is Ace, Pristine, Quantamatics
First a very quick intro about myself Padfoot as my name says , BE, Masters In Economics and awaiting my registration for PhD. Appearing for my CFA level 1 in June 2010. Gave it in December 2008 could not clear.
Planning to nail it this time. About the course. Well you do get Xerox copies in India at Mumbai and Delhi as far as I know. Apart from that in India the best coaching which I have recently come to know is by some institute which actually imparts coaching on behalf of Stalla. Also there is a very famous Forum called analyst forum. However lets try to start our discussion here and what is the study plan which we are going to follow !
What say ?
About the curriculum how fast it changes, a tough one , there are LOBS which actually changes so you have to compare . Which one of them have changed. Kaplan or Shweser normally takes out the New course content for the exam now .

Changing career from telecom to finance.
I don't think CFA L1 only will help you do that but if you do further levels you can do that.And in these times it is difficult to find a job even with L1.
Fees is given on the website it is $1080 if you register now.
I would also suggest you to look this thread

Hi Guys,
I am also planning to register for June 2010 exams.
A quick intro-
I am an IT professional with almost 4+ experience in BFSI domain.
I have cleared an NSE module on Financial Markets.
Intending to do a CFA to switch to the Investment banking industry.
As me thinks IT has plateaued now..atleast in India is just servicing..thats all!
Hey Divan,
Check out the New Horizons Education Inst Pvt Ltd. They provide coaching for CFA on behalf of Stalla. They have a center in Pune. Sorry but can't hlep u with the address. Search it out..u willfind
As for Mumbai guys its
New Horizons Education Inst Pvt Ltd
527,Laxmi Plaza,
laxmi Ind'l Estate,New Link Rd, Andheri-W
I called up this New Horizons....
They quoted $500 for the coaching which also includes Stalla Notes. Is it worth it ?
Hi.. i am new to this CFA thing so my question may sound inappropriate but i would like to know the relative value of a CFA (say level 2) and a MBA in Finance from IIM's. Do the students holding either of the two degrees land up in the same job?? Also, do IIM students also pursue CFA to get an edge over others??
Dear Funemployed,
Comparing CFA AIMR and MBA - IIM's is not . They are top notch in their own league. Both of these courses are well recognized.
But if we compare the recognition of these two I sense CFA has much wider recognition than IIM.
The IIM's are recognized in Asia but are not there in the top 50 instituions worldwide whereas CFA is the absolute certification in finance.
MBA in finance will provide with the management and the leadership skills whereas CFA will make you strong technically.
I have seen a survey wherein a candidate with MBA + CFA commands more in the industry than those with either CFA/MBA.
Lately I have been searching job sites to see what could be the kind of offering for a CFA. Well, for 1-5 yrs experienced guys the package ranged is 15 - 30 lacs.
So you can think how much a guy with MBA and CFA will be worth for.....

woa 500 $ for level 1 . absolutely not worth it , study on your own .. Its is a correspondence course so its designed to help pass out on your own .
My advise , is don't go for external help , atleast for level 1 !!!
