CFA INSTITUTE LEARNING ECOSYSTEM Improve your test preparation with our smart, convenient learning platform

The CFA Institute Learning Ecosystem delivers to candidates a more engaging, efficient, and effective method of study for the CFA Institute Investment Foundations™ Program.

The Learning Ecosystem adapts to your needs,

strengths, and weaknesses, serving you the right

material at the right time focusing on the areas

you need to work on the most. It helps you stay

focused, engaged, and on track while you study.

Everything you need is in one place. There

is no clicking between resources and tools;

you will log in to find an integrated digital

dashboard with all your materials and tailored

recommendations in one place, saving you time

and giving you full control over your studies.

OUR GOAL

The way you learn is changing. Thanks to

smartphones and social media, it’s easy to get

distracted and overloaded with information as

you try to multitask and balance studies with

work and personal demands. That is why we

are making it easy for you to manage your time,

plan your studies and learn on the go, whenever

and wherever is right for you.

WHAT IS THE LEARNING ECOSYSTEM?

A PERSONALIZED LEARNING PATH

A progress tracker and study planner let you

monitor your performance, understand your

strengths and weaknesses, and prepare for

exams effectively. You will receive recommended

resources and suggested activities, based on

how you’re doing along the way.

ACCELERATED LEARNING

All of the content is broken down into user-friendly, easy-to-understand

lessons, so it is more convenient than ever to make time to study.

A MORE ENGAGING EXPERIENCE

Practice questions, mock exams

and learning games help to keep you

motivated, and a handy flashcard tool lets

you review key concepts.

IMPROVED KNOWLEDGE RETENTION

You will remember more information for a

longer period of time. Our tailored learning

tool is designed to enhance knowledge

retention up to and beyond your exams.

FULL ACCESS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER YOU NEED IT

No wasting time looking for

extra study materials and

tools; content is available

on demand, on any device,

all in one place.
