What Our Students Say
Best Investment
★★★★★
Registering with Edge Designations for my CAIA Level I exam is the best investment I have ever made for my future. The lectures, led by the brilliant and experienced Russell Jude, cover all the relevant concepts and computations with depth and understanding. Even though I faced enormous adversity during this period, the EBS prep programme placed me at a clear advantage for my CAIA Level I exam compared to another provider I had used. I will be using Edge for all my future educational aspirations and recommending them to my friends/colleagues. A special thank you to Russell Jude for his passion and commitment.
Thato Moitsemang – CAIA
Share Knowledge And Study
★★★★★
I wrote FRM after having studied on my own and I failed. Going to Edge really changed things for me. We had great lecturers. Russell is so knowledgeable in the various subjects and he has great love and interest in each student. Being at Edge also created a platform for me to have peers to share knowledge and study with. Thank you Edge team… I could not have done this without you.
Margarete Dube – FRM
Could Always Count On
★★★★★
The Edge team with their technology savvy facilities were fundamental to my successful completion of the CFA exams. I could always count on them for guidance and felt as if it was a team environment interested in my personal growth.
Nic Du Toit, CFA, CAIA
Meet Great People
★★★★★
I am so grateful that I enrolled with Edge Designations to prepare for FRM part 1 & 2 Exams. It’s definitely not an easy certificate to obtain, however with the help of Edge Designations I made it. You have to put in the hours to get the most of what Edge Designations offers. The mock exams are critical and very helpful, working with a team towards a common goal was the best and Edge Designations created the platform to meet great people and achieve my goal. I highly recommend Edge Designations, give it your all and you will make it.
