Testimonials

~ Level I Student

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.

~ Level III Student

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.
