This Year, Members Benefit First
Our 2021 Refresher Readings and new online learning modules are some of the most valuable Professional Learning products we offer because they equip our members with the highest level of knowledge and skills they need to achieve their career goals and help them adapt in a changing investment landscape, especially in times of global disruption.
This year, members get a first look at what will change in the CFA Program through Refresher Readings because the pandemic-related deferral of CFA exams has led us to extend and test candidates on the 2020 curriculum.
See what is new for 2021, and check back for more updates as we add to our library.

Dive into Data Science with New Online Learning Modules
Our members revisit our Refresher Readings every year to help them adapt to industry changes. To keep pace with these changes, we adapted the content from two Refresher Readings—material we typically offer in PDF and ePub formats—into interactive, online modules that accommodate your learning preferences. Set your own date for completing the module, see how you rank against other participants, check your mastery as you progress, and earn Professional Learning credit, at the times and places most convenient for you.
