The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation is the most respected credential for finance professionals who seek to establish their professional competence in the area of investments. Many professionals prepare for the CFA® examinations by enrolling in CFA® study seminars offered by various commercial entities. These programs can be costly and inconvenient, often involving travel and lodging in distant locations. In addition, the track record of such programs is uneven, at best. In response, we are now prepared to deliver UNI's remarkably successful financial analysis program to Des Moines area professionals seeking the CFA® designation.

The UNI CFA® Level I Study Seminar offers distinct advantages:
