What our students say...

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'

Great Experience in Fintree. I am not from a commerce background thus was pretty nervous about the learnings. But the way Utkarsh sir cover the topics makes our understanding quite good. Anyone aspiring for CFA, FRM should surely consider Fintree.

If you are preparing for CFA/FRM exams, this class will prove more than useful. Utkarsh sir has a divine ability of explaining complex terms in simple words. Team Fintree will help you in all possible ways like weekly tests, commuter notes, etc. Besides they will also help you in placements (through their network of past students and their placement team focusd on job opportunities for freshers)
