Thinking About a Prep Provider? Read This First.

We understand that some Candidates choose to supplement their studies with third-party prep providers—and that extra support can be helpful.

To help you make an informed choice, we’ve compiled a list of licensed prep providers.
Licensed prep providers are granted early access to CAIA’s official curriculum allowing them to build their course materials. Select any logo below to explore their offerings.

As you evaluate your options, keep these key points in mind:

Only licensed providers receive direct access to the official CAIA curriculum. If you're considering an unlisted provider, be sure to confirm which curriculum year their materials are based on.
The CAIA curriculum is revised annually and released each October for the following March and September exams. Tip: Make sure your study materials align with your exam date.
Use the CAIA curriculum as your source of truth. Whether you're studying independently or using supplemental materials, the official CAIA curriculum and resources should remain your anchor for accuracy and exam alignment.

The right prep provider should align with your goals, learning style, complement your strengths, and support the areas where you need it most—choose thoughtfully, and intentionally.

Important reminder:

The CAIA Association does not endorse or recommend any third-party providers or their material. CAIA does not endorse, promote, review, or warrant the accuracy of the courses, products, materials, and/or services offered by any third-party preparatory program provider of CAIA Association–related information, nor does it endorse any pass rates claimed by third-party preparatory program providers.
