I was preparing for the CFA Level 1 exam. I had no prior experience in finance, so the classes with professionals like Ruslan, Nariman, and Zhansulu were especially valuable. The material was very informative. Even the evening classes after work in late autumn at the EXPO site did not discourage me.
I enjoyed the group interactions; I was learning alongside young professionals working as financial analysts in large companies. They also shared their experiences and knowledge. I found group classes very beneficial. I was the oldest in the group, but I was able to find a common language with everyone, and during small breaks, we enthusiastically asked our lecturers where they invested their savings. The experience was incredible!
