  1. How long have you been in business?
    Kaplan Schweser was founded by Dr. Carl Schweser in 1991, while he was a professor in the college of business at the University of Iowa. Prior to that time, Carl had taught in CFA® programs in North America for a number of years.

    Dr. Andrew Temte has been with Kaplan Schweser since its inception in 1991. When Kaplan Schweser was acquired by Kaplan Inc. (Kaplan's parent company is The Washington Post Company), Dr. Temte became its President and CEO. Kaplan Schweser now enjoys the full backing of a trusted name in education and training with Kaplan's resources at its disposal. A subsidiary of The Washington Post Company, Kaplan had 2007 revenue of more than $2 billion. Even though we are now a part of a bigger organization, we are committed to our tradition of fulfilling the candidates' needs, and maintaining as well as enhancing the level and quality of our service to our customers.
     
  2. Who are the people behind Kaplan Schweser?
    Kaplan Schweser was founded by Dr. Carl Schweser in 1991. Currently, we have a full time staff of five Ph.D.s who are assisted by several more faculty under contract who conduct seminars and assist us in the preparation of training and study materials. In addition to Ph.D.s, virtually all our instructors have CFA® designations. Our people understand what it takes to prepare for the CFA® exam and how to pass it. They have extensive experience teaching in the CFA® program as well as in universities across the US and Canada. You can view our faculty profiles online.
