Proof of excellence
Thanks to Phoenix Financial Training for the strong support throughout my ATX journey. I'm also grateful to Mr. Ismail for his guidance and encouragement. I'm proud to have been a part of Phoenix during all seven papers and really appreciated the flexibility of the online sessions, which were clear and easy to follow.

My experience with Phoenix Financial Training was outstanding. The programme was structured, focused, and truly exam-driven, which made a huge difference in my preparation. Ann was exceptional tutor clear, patient, and incredibly supportive. She had a way of breaking down complex topics into simple, practical steps, and her guidance helped me build both confidence and exam technique. I genuinely believe Phoenix played a major role in my success with ACCA.

I would like to thank Phoenix Financial Training for all the support they have provided with respect to the study material. I always felt that my hard work and preparation was being channeled in the right direction, given the way their courses have been structured. For this specific achievement, I must thank Mr. Vignesh Sivakumar for his efforts and support all throughout the preparation for this exam. During the preparation, he has always been checking on us personally, to ensure that we are well equipped with the required skillset to approach this exam.

I had planned to do AAA last as it seemed like the most daunting paper, but I ended up doing it earlier than expected and I was beyond nervous. However, Phoenix's structured classes and notes were so helpful. The revision sessions reinforced our learning and Ms. Preethy's encouragement helped build my confidence when I was feeling discouraged near to the exam date. It is still a genuine shock to me that I have become the global prizewinner for AAA, and I owe it all to my parents and tutors for their everlasting support.

My CFA level two journey was definitely intense, but studying with Phoenix made it much more manageable. The classes were actually fun, which at this level I didn't expect. The tutors were amazing. They explained complex concepts in such a simple way and constantly connected them to real-world applications, which really helped them stick. The study material was a big plus. It was concise, well-structured, and that's honestly Phoenix trademark, making difficult topics feel simpler and less overwhelming. My tip for CFA level two would be to focus on understanding the concepts rather than memorizing, practice consistently, and trust the process. With the right guidance and discipline, it's absolutely achievable.

Hey, I'm Yvette and I recently passed my CFA level two exam while studying at Phoenix. My experience at Phoenix was absolutely brilliant. The tutors were super engaging and they always made it a point to have the classes interesting which kept students focused in the most difficult subjects. Overall the Phoenix notes were also super well curated and that was one of my main reasons for my success along with the tutors being there at your constant back and call um to clear any doubts and any questions that we had especially towards the end of the exam. But overall my experience at Phoenix was brilliant.

Hi everyone. My name is Suhan and I'm currently pursuing CFA level two with Phoenix Financial Training. I recently completed my CFA level one exam back in February 2025 and I passed level one. So far it has been a great experience pursuing CFA with Phoenix. CFA is a demanding course, yet it can be fun and exciting at the same time. It requires a lot of discipline and you know significant investment of your time to pursue this course. But the great part about doing it with Phoenix is that the lecturers mainly they have been incredible. They have this ability where they take complex topics and simplify it into an easy way that anyone could understand. I would advise future students to commit yourself to the course and it can be done if you follow the process sincerely and with discipline. Myself, I come from a non-financial background and if I can do it, I think so can you.

I am truly grateful to Phoenix for the support they provided during my CFA Level I preparation journey. The recorded videos were incredibly convenient and allowed me to study efficiently at my own pace. Beyond the flexibility, the videos are well- structured, breaking down complex topic areas into manageable & understandable segments. Given how vast the official curriculum is, the study notes were very helpful in providing concise explanations. Overall, Phoenix made my CFA Level I prep smoother and more manageable; I'm truly grateful for the support

CFA Level I Exam
I had an excellent experience with Phoenix Financial Training for my CFA Level 1 preparation. The materials and resources were concise, clear, and very effective in helping me focus on what really mattered. The tutors were supportive and highly experienced. What really stood out was that the lectures weren't limited to theory - the tutors linked concepts to real-life scenarios and current market environments, which made the learning process engaging and much easier to understand.
Chirag Kherajani
CFA Level I Exam
CFA is one of the most ambitious professional qualifications there is. My decision to undertake the CFA Level 1 exam through the tutoring of Phoenix helped me ensure my successful pass. The tutors who taught me were experienced in doing so and had a thorough knowledge of the exam and any content required to be learnt. They were able to accurately gauge the time and effort required as well as provide me with answers to my doubts, day or night. Their real-world experience also helped provide us with a window into the real-life applications of everything we learnt during Level 1. I would recommend Phoenix to any fellow student aspiring for the CFA Charter.
Joe Mathai Thomas
CFA Graduate
Iโm am a Senior Associate at Deloitte. I completed my ACCA in 2021 and am now pursuing CFA with Phoenix Financial Training. One of the main reasons I chose CFA is its diverse and comprehensive curriculum. ACCA builds a strong foundation, but CFA takes it deeper, covering areas like Economics, Financial Statement Analysis, and Fixed Incomeโsomething I once found daunting but mastered with the help of amazing tutors like Shiv. Equity quickly became one of my favorite topics! The learning curve keeps growing, and with Phoenixโs expert guidance, Iโve expanded my knowledge immensely. Finance has always been my passion, and Iโm excited to continue building my career in this field.
Jahnavi Singh
CFA Level II
I work for Finmark Capital, which is a DIFC-regulated external asset management firm. I manage high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth relationships for them. Iโve been in the wealth management industry for almost a decade now. For Level 1, the CFA Institute prescribes about 300 hours of combined learning, out of which 150 were just the Phoenix classes and the revision segment. That was all classroom learning. The remaining 150 hours were self-study, broken up into question practice, a bit of reading, and rewatching the lecture videos that Phoenix provides. The Phoenix notes were effectively the guiding light or the gospel that I followed and built my entire preparation around. Of course, thereโs a bit of sacrifice involved in going back to studying after a long break. It takes time, and that time has to come from somewhere in the day. You have to be disciplined about it.
Arnav Shewakramani
CFA Levels I and II
I recently cleared CFA Level I. I was always interested in finance, and CFA seemed to be the right option for me to deepen that knowledge and explore more career opportunities. Phoenix was amazing. The classes were well-structured, providing an environment where I felt confident and supported throughout. Especially my tutors, Mr. Shiv Mehta and Sanjay Sagarโthey broke down the complicated topics very well. The study materials were really helpful. Overall, Phoenix made things easier throughout my CFA journey. Pursuing the CFA qualification is challenging and tough, but definitely worth it!

Receiving my ACCA results before my 12th grade feels amazing! My friends and family are even happier than I am. Joining the Jumpstart program at Phoenix was a game-changerโI gained industry exposure, built valuable connections, and learned the power of time management. Balancing school, ACCA, and co-curricular activities wasnโt easy, but prioritizing and investing my efforts wisely made it possible!

It was fantastic to receive the email from ACCA stating me as the prizewinner in the U.A.E. and Middle East. It feels great to have recognition of the hard work and dedication that I put into preparing for the exams. All of this wouldn't be possible without the encouragement of my family and the guidance of my amazing tutors at Phoenix who had great faith in me. Special thanks to Mrs. Preethy who made sure we understood every concept in Audit, and Mrs. Sarah for making sure we had ample practice in Financial Reporting. These awards have been a great motivator for me and it pushes me to work even harder in the future. Now, onto the next one!

I couldn't have had a better inception to my ACCA journey than being a student at Phoenix Financial Training. There is no amount of gratitude that would be enough to thank my SBR tutor, Nikhil, for making the subject so interesting with his tremendous knowledge and classroom laughs. In particular, the 4-day revision course was something that helped me the most in identifying my weak areas and fine-tune my performance.

Phoenix Financial Training's dedicated staff, flexible timetables and targeted study materials built a remarkable learning experience on my ACCA journey. The intensive study course designed a strategic way to cover the whole syllabus in a shorter time frame. During the lectures, I greatly appreciated discussions on practical audit scenarios as well as valuable feedback that enhanced my techniques in approaching the exam. Thanks to the continuing guidance and support of our expert mentors, Sarah Kelani and Preethy Joseph, I was able to pass and achieve the prizewinner award.

In the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, PFT as always, putting the students first, made sure our E-learning went on flexibly. The videos recorded are of exceptional topic details along with the weekly webinars which aid in clearing all the doubts. My weekly online tests have been a plus one on helping me tackle my weak areas with intense support from my tutor throughout the day. My tutor, Rona, with her amiable mood lights up our interactive study group and makes it easier for everyone to engage within it.

The online portal offered by Phoenix Financial Training is immensely supportive and interactive providing the classroom experience at the convenience of our homes. I am currently pursuing AFM with Vignesh, whose online classes and virtual presence has been helping me prepare for my upcoming exam. A very user-friendly experience and a must try for everyone."
Amaleswari Amalan

I joined Phoenix FT in 2020 to complete my ACCA exams and within 12 months or so I am now an ACCA affiliate after passing all my papers on the 1st attempt! The best thing about Phoenix's online program is that it gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of studying hours. Being a professional accountant and working in a Big 4 audit firm in Abu Dhabi, I found it really difficult to opt for face-to- face classes. I would definitely recommend Phoenix FT for taking not only ACCA but other professional examinations courses.
Muhammad Zain
ACCA Affiliate, March 2021
This achievement of mine could not have been possible without the thorough and continuous support from PhoenixFT and my lecturers: Taha and Rona. Despite all the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, Phoenix has ensured that full justice was done for me and my preparation for this exam. I was up to date with my preparation with the help of continuous support and resources from the institute, whether it be in the form of live Webinars, online recorded lectures, using social Media platforms for active communication and even offline mode of classes. The institute's and lecturers' continuous effort despite the hurdles proved pivotal for me to excel in this exam...

"I've had a great experience studying with Phoenix over the past year. I've studied with other institutions before, which I thought were good at the time, but they lacked the structure and expertise that Phoenix instructors bring to the table. So far, I've passed PM, Tax, and FM with them on my very first attempt. The instructors and study materials simplify complex topics and break them down into clear, digestible concepts. I'm very happy with how motivating and supportive the entire Phoenix team has been throughout my journey."
Hamda S. Alsuwaidi

It was a really nice experience for me to take an online course for Taxation with PhoenixFT - it prepared me well to get a high mark in the exam... I highly recommend all students wanting to pursue ACCA to join Phoenix Financial Training who are one of the market leaders in the ACCA qualification courses.
