BANGALORE, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

- Enters Financial Courses Domain

- Introduces CFA Course

- Designs its own Course Curriculum

Simplilearn.com, leader in online education and training for professional certification courses, today announced its entry into the finance certification training after proving its expertise in Project Management and IT Services Management field. Simplilearn.com has received accreditation from CFA Institute to conduct the CFA Level 1 training. Simplilearn provides both online and classroom training for CFA Level I certification. Like its other trainings, Simplilearn has designed its own online training course based on the CFA Institute's curriculum for CFA Level I exam. This accredited training helps aspirants from around the world to prepare for the certification exam, conducted by CFA Institute twice a year.

CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), the most respected investment credential recognized worldwide, is a graduate level investment credential that demonstrates a commitment to professional integrity and a high degree of expertise. The course provides the professional with a broad range of skills needed for a competitive career in the investment industry.

Mr. Krishna Kumar, CEO, Simplilearn.com, says, "We have observed the non-availability of quality training content for Finance Certification exam preparation. Like we did for our other training programs for project management, IT service management, etc. certification, we focused on building the best course-ware for training CFA Level I certification aspirants. This training course-ware is accredited by CFA Institute." He further adds, "Apart from CFA, we also offer other finance management courses like FRM and financial modeling, which are accredited by GARP and EXIN respectively."

Mr. Sivananda Subudhi, FRM (has cleared all the three levels of CFA exam and is presently working as Senior Manager with Axis Bank Ltd.) said, "The CFA Level I preparation curriculum developed by Simplilearn team adequately covers all the critical concepts required for the exam. The candidate is expected to be benefited to a greater extent from the interactive topic area-wise video presentations and reading materials. The full length simulation mock tests will definitely provide the candidate an edge over others for tackling problem in real exam."

According to Mr. Vivek Sayal, CFA - Level 1 trainer, "The CFA Level I online training course prepared by Simplilearn covers all the LOS (learning outcome statements) in the curriculum. The interface of the online portal is very user friendly and helps students to easily navigate within the course. Also at the end of each session, there is a quiz to test the concepts covered in the sessions with answers and explanations."

The comprehensive CFA level I course content developed by Simplilearn.com is already getting positive response and many CFA aspirants preparing for CFA level I examination in June 2013 have enrolled for the course.
