Full time CFA® courses
“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that's always been my philosophy.”
Peter Lynch
Quartic Training is pleased to welcome full-time students to the CFA Program. Our courses are designed for candidates who would like to devote most of their week to studying in order to maximise their chances of success. The classes present each topic in detail, with interactive sessions including question practice and group discussion as well as the review of class materials.
You will be taught by experienced tutors who have been through the exams that you are sitting. So as well as helping with exam technique they will be able to bring subjects to life with practical examples.
Course structure
The course is structured over 28 days, two or three days per week. You will receive at least 15 hours of structured training each week – this will enable overseas students to comply with Home Office regulations for student visas.
The first 16 days are the Education phase. Every subject will be introduced from a basic level, with little background knowledge assumed. This is particularly true of accounting, as many students will not have a finance background. The classes are highly interactive, with lots of question practice and discussion, so that students benefit as much as possible from the course. It is expected that students spend at least a further 15 to 20 hours per week studying at home or in study groups. There is a Progress Test every few weeks: these are an excellent guide to how well you are doing so far – there is a strong correlation between your results on these tests and your actual exam, so it pays to get studying as early as possible! The Progress Tests also help Quartic decide who should receive the Quartic Scholarship.
The Revision phase follows, with ten days reviewing the entire curriculum again. The focus of this phase is on question practice and exam technique. By the end of the Revision phase you should feel confident in being able to answer exam-level questions.
A six-hour invigilated mock exam is then provided. Quartic Training will mark and grade these papers, with a full review afterwards.
Job-hunting and careers
For many of our full-time students, coming to London is an opportunity to find work experience. We will offer you seminars to improve your job-hunting skills and to help you to get that all-important internship or even permanent job.
London life
You have chosen to study in an amazing city – and life isn’t just about exams! Not only will you be studying in the heart of the financial City of London but you will be surrounded by a wide range of attractions. London boasts more than 100 theatres, 600 cinema screens, 5000 pubs and bars, 200 clubs, countless parks, canals, markets, galleries and fairs, not to mention the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Madame Tussauds, Oxford Street shopping and 6000 restaurants with food from around the world.
Although many attractions have free entrance, at Quartic we recognise that living in London can be rather expensive, so we will help you to find flatmates and also identify parts of London that are relatively affordable to live in. You should also be eligible for student discounts on many services and activities.
Visas
The process of applying for visas varies from country to country. There are academic agents who may be available to help, or you may prefer to compile documents on your own. Once you have received enrolment papers from Quartic Training then you should be eligible to apply for a UK visa. Quartic will provide letters once you have paid a 50% deposit on your course fees – this will be refunded (less an administrative fee) in the event that your visa application is unsuccessful.
