The CFA Level 1 Fast Track / Review Class is SSEI's compressed, revision-only route to CFA Level 1 - built for repeat candidates, self-prep students needing expert-led revision, and finance professionals wanting a high-density refresh. Fully aligned to the 2027 curriculum, it delivers ~125 hours of core conceptual video where every learning objective and reading is conceptually explained - no first-principles re-teaching, no padding, with extra emphasis on the 2027 changes.
Watch these classroom recordings and walk-throughs to see our first-principles teaching style in action.
