Why LeapUp
Why choose LeapUp for CFA Level 2 online coaching.
Most candidates don't fail Level 2 for lack of material. They fail for lack of structure, practice and someone to ask. We built the programme around those three gaps.
Your timetable, on day one
You receive the full annual lecture schedule across all 10 subjects the moment you enrol — so you can plan college, work and revision around it.
A mentor you can reach
One named mentor stays with you through the programme for scheduling, doubts and course correction when a subject isn’t landing.
Practice built like the exam
80–160 questions per subject, topic-wise tests, mixed-subject mini mocks and 8 full-length mocks with performance analysis.
Every lecture, recorded
Missed a session or want a second pass before a mock? Full recordings available on the LMS for the length of your course.
Taught from the desk, not the textbook
Faculty who are expert in equity research, portfolio management and audit teach with live cases, so concepts stick past the exam hall.
Placement assistance
Resume review, mock interviews and career direction support to convert the qualification into an actual finance role.
100% money-back assurance
Attend, practise and sit the exam as prescribed. If you don’t clear, you’re eligible for a full refund. Terms shared upfront, in writing.
Study alongside your degree or job
Weekday and weekend batches, 10–15 hours a week. No career break, no gap year.
The curriculum
CFA Level 2 syllabus — all 10 subjects covered.

Quantitative Methods
Regression, time-series analysis and machine-learning basics applied to markets.
Economics
Currency exchange rates, economic growth and the analysis of business cycles.
Corporate Issuers
Capital structure decisions, corporate restructuring and governance in practice.
Equity Investments
The heart of Level 2 — DDM, FCFF/FCFE, residual income and private company valuation.
Fixed Income
Term structure, valuing bonds with embedded options, credit analysis and CDS.
Derivatives
Pricing and valuation of forwards, futures, swaps and options using no-arbitrage.
Alternative Investments
Real estate, private equity, commodities and hedge fund strategy analysis.
Portfolio Management

The preparation path
How our CFA Level 2 preparation works — nine stages to exam day.
This is the sequence every LeapUp candidate follows. Nothing is left to “study when you can”.
01
Structured preparation
You get an indicative timetable covering all 10 subjects well in advance, so the whole year is visible before you start.
02
Classroom lectures
Face-to-face sessions at our Ahmedabad centre with your faculty mentors — questions asked and answered as you go.
03
Lecture recordings
Every classroom session is recorded and uploaded to the LMS, so you can revisit any explanation after class or catch up if you miss one.
04
Practice questions
80–160 questions per subject, written in CFA exam format rather than textbook format.
05
Subject tests
A test at the close of each subject, so gaps surface early instead of during the mocks.
06
Mixed-subject tests & doubt sessions
Mini mocks that cut across subjects, plus dedicated sessions to clear everything before mock season begins.
07
Mock exams
8 full-length mocks in the final 30 days, with analysis of where marks are actually being lost.
08
Exam mentoring
A dedicated guidance session on exam-day strategy, timing and scoring, with your mentor on call.
09
Sit Level 2
Walk in prepared. Clear the exam — or become eligible for the 100% money-back assurance.

Because I believe everyone has their own areas of expertise and leapup has many faculties teaching different subjects as per their expertise. The faculties here are just amazing. Apart from teaching they are very friendly, helpful and available for you whenever you need them. And not just studies, you can literally share anything that might be causing you stress. From preparing a timetable, maintaining mistake sheets, to needing somebody to just say that you will kill it. They were always there to help me and guide me throughout.

Hinal Shah AssociateInvestment Analyst, Perpetunity
“I would to thank LeapUp for introducing this unique course. As CFA is a very well-developed course, it will help us develop our finance competence. But to actually step into the corporate world, we need to apply this theory in practice and which this course is helping me to do. It looks easy when sums are solved from textbooks, but when you open the balance sheet of a company, you get to know the variation.
Mudra Desai InvestmentResearch Analyst, Avalon Global
“Diploma in Applied Finance is truly one of its kind. The practical lectures are something I look forward to as it not only teaches me how to actually apply what was taught in class but also is a lot of fun.

Questions
CFA Level 2 FAQs — eligibility, fees, exam dates and more.
What is the CFA Charter?
The CFA Charter is the professional designation awarded by the CFA Institute (USA), the global body that sets standards in investment management and financial analysis. A charterholder has done three things: passed all three exam levels, accumulated the required relevant work experience, and committed to the Institute’s code of ethics.
How do I earn the Charter?
Pass Levels I, II and III. Complete 4,000 hours (roughly 3–4 years) of relevant investment or finance work experience. Become a member of the CFA Institute and abide by its ethical standards.
The Charter carries weight in portfolio management, equity research, investment banking and asset management.
Can I attempt Level 2 straight after clearing Level 1?
Yes — and most candidates do. You can register for the next available Level 2 window once your Level 1 result is out. Give yourself around 6 months of preparation, since the syllabus depth steps up considerably.
I’m working full-time. Can I still start?
Yes — a large share of candidates are working professionals, and the programme was designed with them in mind. Most study 10–15 hours a week over several months alongside a full-time job. Our weekend batches and full lecture recordings exist for exactly this.
When are the CFA Level 2 exams held?
CFA Level 2 is offered in May, August and November each year. Level 1 runs in February, May, August and November; Level 3 in February and August.
Where are the exam centres in India?
Exams run at Prometric computer-based testing centres across major Indian cities. You choose your preferred city and centre at registration, subject to seat availability in that exam window.
Can non-commerce students take the CFA?
Yes. The CFA Institute doesn’t require a specific academic background. Students from engineering, science, arts or any other stream can enrol as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.
How much harder is Level 2 than Level 1?
Level 2 is widely considered the toughest of the three. The format shifts from standalone questions to item sets — vignettes where you read a case and answer linked questions — and the depth on valuation and financial reporting increases sharply. It rewards application over recall, which is exactly what our vignette drilling is built around.
How does the money-back assurance work?
If you meet the attendance, test and mock requirements set out at enrolment and still don’t clear Level 2, you become eligible for a 100% refund. The full terms are shared in writing before you pay — ask your counsellor for the document.
