I can confidently say that this is the best CFA institute in Kochi. My journey began here with the Financial Modelling program and the Post Graduate Certificate in Management (PGCM) - Equity Research, both of which provides a strong foundation.The CFA coaching here is exceptional. The institute provides all the best resources to ensure that students succeed. One highlight was their repeated classes for difficult topics, ensuring every student fully grasps complex concepts.The programs are highly practical—the Financial Modelling course offered real-world applications, while the PGCM - Equity Research course not only strengthened my technical knowledge but also enhanced my presentation and communication skills.
I extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Saji Mathews, CFA, and Mr. Labee Bhaskar, FCA, CFA, for their exceptional mentorship. A special thanks to Dean Sam Kuriakose for his continuous support, and my sincere appreciation to the entire IMS team for their unwavering help throughout my learning journey.
If you're looking to advance in finance, this is the place to be!

I have just cleared my CFA Level 1, and I can confidently say that this is the best institution in kochi for CFA training. I started my CFA journey here through well structured programs of Financial Modelling and Post Graduate Certificate in Management(PGCM) - Equity research , both of these provide us with practical application experience and clear knowledge on the topics. Most experienced faculties Mr Saji Mathews CFA and Mr Labee Bhaskar FCA, CFA are two of the best mentors I have ever got.
Although I was skeptical about joining this institution at first, now I can confidently say that this is one of the , if only the best we got and the only institute that provide offline classes for CFA. My batch had an excellent pass rate of 73.33%(11/15) compared to the global CFA level 1 pass percentage of 43%. Of that 11 there were also 8 candidates, including me that crossed the 90th Percentile mark. That says a lot about the level and way of teaching IMS Proschool Kochi provides us with.

Having recently cleared the CFA Level 1 exam, I can confidently say that IMS Proschool is the best CFA education provider in Kerala. Their detailed and engaging lectures simplify even the most challenging concepts, making them accessible to everyone, including those without a finance background.
The faculty, including Mr. Labee Bhaskar and Mr. Saji Mathews, are experienced CFA charterholders who share real-life insights, making classes practical and enjoyable. Additionally, Mr. Sam Thomas is a dedicated mentor who genuinely cares about student progress and is always available to offer assistance.
IMS Proschool also offers an NSE-certified Financial Modeling course, a valuable addition for career growth.
For anyone aspiring to earn the CFA charter, IMS Proschool provides a supportive, resourceful, and highly professional learning environment.

Cleared CFA Level 1 in just a few months of preparation, thanks to IMS ProSchool Kochi. Excellent guidance by our teachers - Mr. Labee Bhaskar CFA FCA and Mr. Saji Matthews CFA. Labee Sir's sessions are meticulously structured, making complex topics accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. His in-depth approach ensured a thorough understanding of each concept, eliminating the need for additional study materials. Saji sir’s classes are extremely engaging. His lectures are packed with industry insights and provides a holistic understanding by seamlessly integrating various topics. There is never a dull moment in his classes.
About Financial Modelling, the course is beneficial for both students and working professionals. It covers Excel fundamentals, building financial statements, FCFE/FCFF valuations, and revenue forecasting, providing a strong foundation for Financial Statement Analysis.
Special mention to Ms. Aswathy & Mr. Shahid for being our go-to person at the institute. Their diligent and proactive nature to our concerns has immensely impacted our learning experience.

After having cleared the CFA Level 1 exam in my first attempt few days ago, I could definitely say that IMS proschool is simply the best CFA education provider in Kerala. If I am not wrong, they are the only education provider in Kerala who provide offline classes. Their faculties Mr. Saji Mathews and Mr. Labee Bhaskar are experienced CFA charterholders, who leave no stone unturned in helping students pass the exams. They cover the entire syllabus and share real-life experiences which makes classes interesting and fun to attend. The classes are on weekends, which also helps working professionals attend live lectures. Lastly, I would recommend IMS proschool to anyone who is interested in making a career in investment management and willing to earn the CFA charterholder.

Coming from a non-finance/non-accounting background, I was initially unsure whether CFA would be something fit for me to pursue. Nevertheless, I went ahead and enrolled myself at IMS Proschool Kochi. The lectures were delivered at a clean pace covering all the necessary details along with an ample amount of examples. I was very much satisfied with the lectures, the provided reading materials, mini mock tests etc. The faculty Mr. Labee Bhaskar was very much motivating and he put a lot of effort to ensure that conceptual clarity was delivered. He even encouraged for one to one doubt clearing sessions off the class hours. Recently, I got placed in Deloitte, Hyderabad. The role these CFA lectures had played in helping me achieve that feat is invaluable. I thank IMS Proschool Kochi, its faculties and its non-teaching staff for making the space a wonderful place to learn.

One of the best institutes for CFA, i think they offer more but i went for CFA level -1 coaching .The teachers are all professionals who give you more than you need to crack the exam. They give you a lot of support and also the classes are fun and relaxed. Enjoyed the classes and passed the exam on the first try thanks to this institute
Ashish Thomas
The institute provides really good coaching for CFA Level 1 and i can testify to this as I passed my CFA Level 1 exam with a score above the 90th percentile. The amount of effort the faculty put in is just amazing and they literally drive you to that path of passing the exam. It would not have been able to gain as much understanding of the subjects without the help of the faculty. They're prices are also very reasonable for the level of support and study materials that we are given.

I was really sceptical when I first tried to join this institute when I was checking for a CFA prep institute as they were the only one's in Kerala who provide the hybrid course, was really confused if I could get every cent of valuable experience from here, but I trusted my gut and went ahead.
I can now say that I have passed CFA level 1 with over 90 percentile in first attempt.Thanks to them.

I enrolled here for the CFA course, and I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with the professional faculty here. I want to thank Mr. Labee Bhaskar and all the other faculty who went out of their way to ensure that I understood the concepts well enough and were available at any time to help me clarify my doubts. The revision classes were so helpful and I would highly recommend this institute to anyone in Kochi who wants to prepare for their CFA journey to enroll in this institute.

I would recommend IMS Proschool to anyone who is contemplating joining the institution. No need to think twice. The faculty at IMS Proschool Kochi is very knowledgable, competent and motivated to bring out the best in you. I joined the PGPIBCM course at IMS Proschool Kochi without a background in finance. I was able to complete the PGPIBCM course with a very good grade. I consequently gave the CFA Level 1 examination which I cleared and scored above the 90th Percentile. I owe this feat to the faculty at IMS Proschool Kochi namely Labee Bhaskar, Saji Mathews, Sam Kuriakose, Balachandran and Jessun Paul.

CFA coaching scam. Go to the CFA official prep providers and they aren't on the list. They claim that they're an official prep provider but they're not. Their coaches aren't approved by the CFA institute and don't have CFA licenses, but they will make claims that they do. According to the CFA institute website they must provide the CVS of the coaches but these people don't as none of them are certified. Absolutely pathetic portal which you can't access, they claim all the material is on there but you'll never be able to access it. This institute is running a fraud! They've bought all their positive reviews and will dupe you.
Prince Job
Enrolled online for CFP course... The online class should have maximum 10 students but they run the online class with 30 students. Tutor is very nice but she can't handle these much students... Can some body please split this to 2-3 batches...
