USC/CFALA CFA Review Streaming Media Program for Active Duty Service members Abroad

The USC/CFALA CFA Review program is offering a full scholarship for internet access to the streaming media recordings of our CFA review courses to members of the United States armed forces who are serving on active duty in the United States, abroad or at sea, and to Disabled Veterans of the United States armed forces.

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is a mark of distinction that is globally recognized by employers, investment professionals, and investors, as the definitive standard --the gold standard--by which to measure serious investment professionals.

Since 1984, CFA Society of Los Angeles, Inc. (CFALA), in partnership with the University of Southern California, Marshall School Business (USC), has offered a Charted Financial Analyst  Review program to candidates studying for all three CFA examination levels.

The CFA Review Program provides candidates with a structured approach to preparing for the CFA examinations.  We designed our program to assist candidates with mastering the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge.  Our faculty covers all disciplines on the CFA examination.

While live instruction is the cornerstone of our program we also provide candidates with supplemental study tools including access to recorded classroom lectures.

It is these recorded classroom lectures that are being made available free of charge to qualified service members. Classes for 2022 start in January and recordings will be made available after each class. Once the live program has concluded, all recordings will be immediately available. 

Please note that due to the changing curriculum and increased number of exams per cycle, we are only able to offer prep for May, August, and November exams. 

Update (12/16/21): The decision was made that only Level I will be offered for the 2022 year.
