The Foundation for a successful CFA® career is BUILT here.

Mark Meldrum, Ph.D, is a Prep Provider for Levels I, II and III of the CFA® Program. Dr. Meldrum has taught at several higher education institutions in both Canada and the U.S. and has over 20 years of relevant market experience, having invested in/traded almost every asset class (currencies, commodities, equities, fixed-income and selected alternative investments) Dr. Meldrum has been trained in pedagogy and assessment, skills not taught in the CFA® Program but are critical to have in a Professor.

Dr. Meldrum teaches the content at each Level the same way he would teach it in a University course.
This is not a ‘crash course’.
This is not designed to just ‘get you by’.

Dr. Meldrum, unlike many academically untrained instructors, does not simply tell you what he knows.
He tells you HOW to know what he knows.
He does not simply repeat the content from PowerPoints, he explains WHY something is the way it is.

He does not just prepare you for an exam, he prepares you to be successful in your career.
