7city Learning Introduces Tablet Technology for CFA® Training

New tablet technology tailored for distance learning

Seamless integration with online portal for on-the-go CFA candidates

NEW YORK & LONDON--()--7city Learning, a leading provider of learning and development solutions for the financial services industry, today introduced the groundbreaking 7cTablet for the 7city Learning CFA training program for the June 2012 sitting. The 7cTablet provides CFA candidates around the world with access to top-quality preparation for the rigorous exam.

7city created the 7cTablet program in order to address the changes in learning behavior and the increasing demand for mobile technology. For students without immediate access to a classroom learning environment, the 7cTablet allows for many of the benefits of classroom learning – lectures, highly-rated instructors and proven techniques – through a distance learning program. The portable lightweight tablet device can be pre-loaded with lectures, self-assessment quizzes, performance dashboards, capabilities to ask instructors questions and more. The tablet can be used without internet access as the device will offer both pre-loaded information and syncing abilities.

“In any financial institution today, individuals are increasingly on the move and the usage of mobile technology is becoming ubiquitous,” comments Gil Christie, one of 7city Learning’s head CFA instructors. “The tradition of classroom-based learning needs to evolve in order to adapt to the reality of today’s environment. The introduction of the 7cTablet reflects our ongoing commitment to innovating in order to help financial services professionals learn more and learn better.”

For the CFA exams, the 7cTablet houses all the tools and tips currently found in the 7city online portal, including class recordings; progress tests; question banks; an online helpdesk; and diagnostic performance reporting. The tablet extends the 7city online learning program in order to maximize students’ study time so that they can study wherever they be. A key aspect of the tablet is that it can be used offline and then when in a wi-fi zone can be synced with the online portal to update the student’s progress in the program.

For prospective CFA students interested in viewing the tablet, the device will be available for viewing and showing in Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco and New York at information sessions.
