Our classes are geared exclusively towards examination prep. For exams that do require a sponsor, we discourage non sponsored candidates from attending the class.

We have a mobile app available for iOS download where you can watch and download our on-demand video lectures and view our flashcards. You can access the full online Training Center on any mobile device as long as you have access to a web browser.
The video lectures are pre-recorded programs, intended specifically for an online user. The video lectures and the live classes do cover similar content so you do not need to both watch the video lectures and attend a live class.

The video lectures cover the same content as the traditional faculty lead live class. The videos are shorter because we don’t stop for breaks or to answer questions.
Knopman Marks Financial Training students have access to our content, materials and support until they pass their exam or for up to 1 year from their enrollment date.
We have tutoring available at an additional fee for all candidates who have purchased our materials. Our tutoring sessions vary student by student and are designed specifically around your needs and your current study progress. The number of hours you may need can vary as well depending on how much work you do on your own, whether you are looking for someone to guide you through the majority of the material or just to do some drills and practice questions, etc. To learn more about private tutoring, please contact [email protected] as far in advance as possible so we can book sessions on the calendar. There is an additional hourly rate of $500 for private tutoring.
If your firm is interested in a private class, please contact our office for details: [email protected] or 212.626.6899.
