Hi Nairalanders,Please lets try to clear somethings.
First and formost,   Using the tittle ''Certified Financial Analyst "to refer to the CFA programm offered by the CFA institute(formerly AIMR)is incorrect.

CFA institute holds the trademarks associated with CFA programm.The acronyms ''CFA'' can refer only to the Charterd Financial Analyst designation or charter.

For the lectures,we are starting by 20th January 2008 and its for twelve weeks.For materials.eg schweser books,CD,Video and also Ti calculator,u can contact me.
