We have designed two modules of coursework that covers all the

financial, economic, and accounting theory that a student must master

for the Level 1 exam. The material covered in these courses is not

restricted to CFA material but will cover additional topics as deemed

appropriate by the instructor. In other words, these courses are not

teaching to the test but are covering a body of knowledge that

includes the topics covered in the Level I exam. As such, they will

often include material a CFA student will see in Level II and III

exams.

Mr. Zia U. Khan will be the academic coordinator for this course. He ha

MBA in Finance & Investments, Master of Accountancy (M.Acc.), and Maof Science in Engineering (MS), and, all three from Arizona State UniversHe is also a CPA and CMA in USA. In 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2Microsoft Corporation USA presented him the Most Valuable Professi

(CFA) designation is the fastestgrowing and the most prestigious

professional credentials in the worldand is a globally recognized standard

December). The Level II and III exams are administered once a year,usually the first weekend of June. Both Level I and Level II are
