“Attempting to tackle the AFM Exam is a bit daunting, which is why this course really shines brightly. Unlike many of the other excellent modeling courses out there, this course specifically focuses on the AFM exam and is a great combination of reviewing modeling skills and fine-tuning your exam preparation. This course is like the capstone to your AFM Exam preparation pyramid. There's nothing quite like it out there yet. It reviews the hard skills, sharpens the soft skills such as template preparation, gives exam tips to save time, advises on how to approach the exam, and brings all the needed skills together in an excellently paced course. Highly recommended. ”
