It is the most prestigious international financial accreditation and since its inception in 1963 the number of candidates has grown year after year, reaching its peak in 2019 with more than 270.000 people submitted.
In the face-to-face sessions, the academic content of the study plan will be explained and all the theoretical concepts will be reinforced with the resolution of multiple choice questions. The multiple choice questions will be similar to those that the candidate would encounter on the official date of the CFA certification.

There will be a written test at the end of the course with multiple choice questions in English from all the course modules. This test will be similar to the mock exams carried out during the training.

In Spain there are only 820 people with the 3 levels approved and the rapid internationalization that we are witnessing, especially in the financial world, is causing consultants, commercial banks, investment banks, investment fund managers, financial boutiques, etc. are establishing as a fundamental requirement to obtain the CFA certification as a guarantee of permanence and promotion within corporate structures.
