last time i inquired fkms in kl n the PIC told the college no longer open cfa class. so the only choice i left to chose for having cfa course from kasturi college (of course, there could b some other colleges in kl oso offer cfa course of which im not aware of). so far i think cfa course offered by kasturi is fine, i'd rate it 7.5 to 8 out of 10 marks (assume 10 is the highest quality). if u could meet some classmates during the course n form a study group, then it'd a very good way to learn cfa as well.

of course, u can always self study cfa since it is made as a self-study program. it's all depends on urself whether u r brilliant enuf to learn cfa so when u encounter problems in studying u need to make sure u have the resoures to solve n understand the problem urself, how r u going to arrange ur time if u take course? r u financially well-off to pay RM4.1K extra just take course at kasturi for each level? these r those factors u need to consider to self-study or take course in kasturi.

I had also studied at Kasturi before for my Level 1. Have to say without going to classes, I dun think will pass. (Definitely requires a lot of discipline and determination)

Most of the lecturers are pretty good, especially David Meow.

Yeap quite a sum of money of Rm4.1 K for course but definitely worth it. Now I think they still have the scheme that is you get more than 70% of all the 10 sub subjects, you can get back all your money back! It pays to be good! I got like 9 out of 10, so missed the opportunity.

oh btw, CFA passing rate is very low in Malaysia. If not mistaken, like below 30 to 40%

So does CFA qualification helps in your career ? Please share.

No need. That was in 2008 though.

My friend had completed CFA Level 1. However, she does not intend to study CFA anymore as she will not be in the finance / investment banking career

She is intending to further studies but want to make use of the CFA Level 1. Hence, want to ask if any masters programme will suitable for her that perhaps wiill enables her to exempt a few papers?

Thanks
