About us
“Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years”
Warren Buffett
At Quartic Training we teach investing with a passion. It's one thing to scrape through an exam with last minute cramming (neither recommended nor generally successful), quite another to gain insights over a period of time into how the markets really work and how the CFA® curriculum can be applied to today's news stories.
Quartic's unique approach to the CFA® Program
Teaching style: Inspirational tuition from an expert practitioner who will use real examples in the classroom to bring the course to life.
Materials: Quartic has invested significant time and resources into producing clear, user-friendly materials that provide an intuitive understanding of finance, not pages and pages of algebra to memorise robotically. This helps to make complex analytical exam questions easier, as well as providing longer term benefit to you and your clients.
Flexibility: Our professional courses are structured in modules to allow maximum flexibility for candidates. If, for example, a student on a weekend course has a commitment one weekend, they can easily switch to two Fridays or four evenings (City or Docklands).
Value: Our part-time courses range from 2 to 16 days and provide you with up to 90 hours of tutored class time, with no subjects in the curriculum omitted. Choose the length and intensity of class to suit your working style and budget.
Support: Tutors are in the office every day in the month leading up to an exam. Students have a study room
available and a breakout room with drinks, snacks, newspapers and internet for those well-earned breaks. In
the final weeks before the exam we also offer a "Tutor Helpline" until 9 p.m. every weekday evening, for all those last minute queries. Our class sizes are strictly capped, enhancing the level of support available to candidates inside the classroom too.
Don't just learn about finance: be inspired!
