CFA course 2012 - Programme for Level I |
| The course is spread over 9 sessions plus there are 2 mock exams on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m.. See the course plan below. Can be subject to minor adjustments. |
The course has changed for 2012 so that it is CFA chaterholders, who will be teaching. They have been through the CFA Program themselves and are aware of the exam requirements. As well as this they have good practical experience or are experts in the respective fields, which they teach in.
The lessons are sponsored by Danske Bank, Nordea, Sydbank, BankInvest, Simcorp and others, who will ensure teachers, premises and food.

Conditions:
You must be registered for the CFA Program at CFA Institute.
This is done on www.cfainstitute.org under CFA Program, "Enroll & Register". You can also find guidance and instructions under "What is CFA".
All CFA-students, who are members of The Danish Society for Financial Analysts, can register for the course. Good skills in English are an absolute advantage for the CFA Exam, which is generally without aid and is so comprehensive that a lack of language skills is a handicap. Candidates from institutions of higher education with areas of specialization such as accounting and financing and the like, can have an advantage in that the theories and methods known from undergraduate days are also included in the CFA Body of Knowledge. |

Prices and enrollement:
The price for the course is expected to be DKK 7800,00 incl. mock exams, exempt from VAT. In addition to this there is the membership fee for the Society, which at present is DKK 1650,00 for the calender year.
Registrations are accepted as long as there are places available on the course. Fees for the course are invoiced continuously. Fees are due on the 17th of January 2012. |
