Edge is a real game changer, one of, if not the best institution for finance in South Africa at the moment. Pair Edge with the CFA® program, one of the most prestigious finance designations in the world and you have yourself an endless flow of value in your pocket. Portable power I call it.

The lecturers’ passion, dedication and deep understanding of the material has beyond impressed me. Edge has inspired me to only strive for the best! Thank you Russell for all the hard work, time and effort. I don’t know what batteries you put in every morning but they must be super powerful!

Edge have ample years of industry and tuition experience, and keep even the most boring and tedious topics relevant with practical examples. I would highly recommend their comprehensive and well-structured program to anyone registered for the CFA LI-III examinations in order to save time, energy, and keep stress levels under control.

For me, Edgefit was an extremely valuable resource in my prep for the CAIA Level 1 exam. I don’t think I could have successfully passed without it. Russell is an incredible teacher. He explains difficult concepts clearly and easily, which is especially great for those new to the material. He was very supportive and always answered questions in a timely manner. He is truly a great instructor that goes up and beyond by empathizing with his students, providing positive encouragement as they battle through the intense and heavy content of the CAIA curriculum. Definitely a big fan, and will be purchasing his course again to help me navigate through level 2.

Registering with EBS 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

Where to begin….Well, I started with a leading brand name, studying their materials because I knew no better and they advertise all over the place. Then I started to look around a bit because the material was a little harder than I anticipated and that highly advertised group was not cutting it.  That’s when I found Edge and Russell. They were offering a complimentary look into Topic 2: Into to Alts.  Which, as you will find is no intro, its advanced and in-depth. After listening to Russell’s approach and the way that he teaches, I was hooked. There is a way that I can’t quite put into words, that Russell simplifies all the complicated material.  In short, he teaches you what you need to know. It seemed that countless times when I was stuck on topic all I had to do was listen to Russell.  It may not have “stuck” the first time I heard it but I played it over and over and until the “light bulbs went off”  and it was finally engrained. One other issue with the other group was speed, or lack there of,  in getting questions answered.  Russell was always quick, timely and thorough with his explanations. I am 100% positive that the reason I passed Level 1 and mastered some of the material is due to the teaching style of Russell and the Edge material.  That is why I am using them for Level 2. I would use them and clearly I endorse them for any studying one would require for an advanced certification.

While preparing to sit for CAIA LI, I struggled to understand and retain some of the material. Signing up for the Edge course was a game changer. Concise notes and focused lectures brought desirable clarity and many “aha!” moments. I can’t thank enough Russell for his continuous feedback and heartfelt support both of which helped me to built confidence I needed to pass the exam. I wish to pass over my success and with great pleasure give my highest recommendation to Edge as a trustful caring partner for your CAIA journey. See All at level II!

“I registered to do my CAIA level 1 exam in September 2020 and relied on EdgeFIT for my supplementary support from advise a friend who recently passed gave me. The program ended up being my primary study material and guide, given the succinct and accurate notes, basically 24/7 access to Russell for any clarification questions (thanks again Russell!), and the extensive previous exam questions that were specifically prepared for the new syllabus. I can’t thank the EdgeFIT team enough and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to write their CAIA exams and pass first time.”

“I decided to approach CAIA level 1, not sure what to expect and definitely not sure where to start. Edge Designations not only provided me with all the tools necessary to pass the exam, but also taught me the skills and gave me the confidence to master the exam. I am grateful and happy to have Russell and his Edge team backing me all the way, excited to take on level 2 with Edge by my side”.

I used Edge, specifically Russell’s lectures and notes, for CAIA L1 September 2020. I had other prep materials and even a different provider’s lecture but found Russell and EDGE to be the most helpful! His simple breakdown and explanation of each learning objective and delivery through YouTube videos going line by line through notes (that you have copies of!) helped me to lock in on topics or concepts that I had previously struggled with. On top of that, Russell helped someone like me (not in the industry very long) take some of the fear out of the exam. He made passing CAIA feel attainable and gave me the confidence I needed. Always available via email or WhatsApp, the notes, videos and guidance were the final element to get me a passing score. I immediately reached out to him to let him know because I truly believe I wouldn’t have passed without him.

Russell and his team at Edge equipped me with the best toolkit I could ask for to be prepared for the CFA examinations. His dedicated interest, knowledgeable teachings and above-and-beyond efforts not only improved my tangible knowledge of the content, but also prepared me emotionally to give it my best shot on the day. I would not have passed the CFA examinations if not for Russell and his team. Thank you!

As a full-time working mom who was also studying, I needed a study provider that would increase my chances of success.  Edge classes gave me much needed flexibility through their offering physical classes as well as recorded lectures.  The schedule provided kept me disciplined and on track.  Their approach is hands on and practical.  I would highly recommend Edge.

I completed my CFA levels 2 and 3 with the help of Edge. Their lectures and concise easy to use notes were of the highest standard all given over by excellent lecturers. I believe that Edge got me through this challenging course, and I wish I had learned CFA level 1 with them too.

My experience with the CFA program and Edge has been the best decision I have ever made. It is a no brainer, unbelievable experience that I will never forget and the value I take with me is really breath taking. Sometimes I say things I didn’t even know I knew.”

Through my experience at Edge Business School, from undergrad to participating in the CFA program, Edge Designations lecturers have a unique approach to individually assessing student problems and assist with problem solving on a one on one basis should the need arise. The personal touch of lecturers  to students with regards to lectures , proves passion  and dedication. I RECOMMEND EDGE AS YOUR PATH WAY TO SUCCESS!

Being at Edge has allowed me to experience what education really is. The lecturers passion, dedication and deep understanding of the work being taught has beyond impressed me. Being at Edge has inspired me to only strive for the best! Thank you Russel for all your hard work time and effort, I don’t know what batteries u put in every morning but they must be super powerful!😜 You a really good lecturer and role model for all students and we lucky to have you as a lecturer.

I sat for the level 2 exam in June and having attended lectures at Edge I must say I am more than happy with the material and support received from the staff at Edge. What made a difference – was the last month/weeks of preparation. Russell put in a lot of time and effort in putting it all together and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend prospective candidates. See you in Level 3! 

The Edge team with their technology savvy facilities where 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.

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.

Edge Designations assisted me in achieving my goal of passing the FRM exam. This was made possible via the excellent lecturers who were available 24/7 with a deep understanding of the content. The Edge premises gave me a secluded and quiet area to study. The network of students comprised of banking professionals which I am still in communication with. Thank you, Mo, Russell and the “A-Team”.

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.
