Career Certified buys CFA exam prep startup AnalystPrep

AnalystPrep also provides materials for FRM, actuarial, and MBA admission exams

Career Certified is a company that uses technology to create education that tailored to specific professions, including real estate agents, mortgage loan originators, home inspectors, real property appraisers, architects, and securities experts, assisting them with everything from pre-licensing to post-licensing, as well as exam prep and continuing education coursework.

Now the company will be going deeper into the financial and insurance industries categories through its acquisition of AnalystPrep, a provider of study materials for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Financial Risk Manager (FRM), actuarial, and MBA admission exams inclusive of the GMAT, Executive Assessment, and GRE.

The CFA program is an internationally recognized certification offered by the CFA Institute that's taken by over 35,000 global finance professional candidates every year. AnalystPrep gives these candidates CFA exam preparation courses, along with mock exams, question banks, study notes, and video lessons for these tests, to help them successfully pass. 

Founded in 2014, the Montreal-based AnalystPrep features a proprietary question bank,  combined with study guides, videos, and knowledge progression checks. The platform, which has been used by over 50,000 learners around the world, deploys intelligent student comparison stat algorithms, and assimilation of difficult study concepts to adapt to each user.

Going forward, AnalystPrep will be folded into Career Certified’s Centers of Excellence, while also retaining "the talent and culture that made AnalystPrep a trusted name in the industry for over 10 years."

“The team behind AnalystPrep are forward thinkers, aligned to our mission of providing the best education and exam preparation to help change lives while providing excellent customer service,” said Gary Weiss, CEO of Career Certified.

“Personally, I’m excited to add three more impressive career paths and serve the financial analyst community. Those in private equity, asset management, and banking help make wheels turn all over the world!”
