Read What Students Had to Say

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.

Hi everyone, my name is Marina Rodrigues.
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 Sagar—they 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!

My name is Arnav, and 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. I’ve 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, there’s 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.

Hi everyone! I’m Jahnavi, 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 Income—something 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 Phoenix’s expert guidance, I’ve expanded my knowledge immensely. Finance has always been my passion, and I’m excited to continue building my career in this field.
Take the first step towards a rewarding career in finance with Phoenix Financial Training.
