What our students say...

Quote

If you are looking for certifications in the field of finance.. then this is the place to be. I come from non-commerce non-finance background and was skeptical about coping up with new field. But it was fun to be in classroom after a really long break and it really helped me that I joined FinTree for my CFA Level 1 exam preparation. I will strongly recommend this. Most important thing is that Utkarsh Sir is approachable and available and this gives a lot of support as exam approaches. In one line I will say 'if you are in doubt about career in finance, join FinTree'

Utkarsh sir is a very energetic teacher and loves teaching his students. His efforts reflect quite effectively in his methods and techniques of teaching. He not only teaches for the sake of it, but tells us stories and live examples to truly understand what we are studying. He encourages intuitive and logical thinking instead of simply being a book worm. Moreover, he is available for everyone and open to doubts and queries, however silly it may be. It's one of the best places to study and understand finance.

Fintree makes sure that any individual entering the zone would not go empty handed. The entire faculty and staff is very supportive and helps to chase behind our dreams. This is one of the best places to be in. Utkarsh Sir is the soul of the institute. His approach towards the subjects is the best, he focuses on things in a very practical approach which helps us to apply in the real market.

FINTREE is a great place to interact with like-minded people who are result oriented. With the guidance of Utkarsh sir it becomes very easy to learn and grasp the most difficult concepts. As a trainer, sir takes care of each and every student personally so that he/she can make the best out of the course. It is really good to have a trainer who knows each and every topic in depth but as well passes on his hard learnt experiences to us which is unique in it's sense.
