About this course
The Texas Instruments BA II Financial Calculator for CFA and FRM on Udemy walks through the specific keys and functions of the BA II Plus model that finance certification candidates need. You learn how to work with the time value of money keys, calculate net present value and internal rate of return, and handle cash flow analysis — the core tools the syllabus lists under "Fundamental finance calculations" and "Financial calculator for the CFA and FRM exams". The course frames these around the exam objectives for both the Chartered Financial Analyst and Financial Risk Manager tracks, so you see how the same keystrokes apply to sample questions from each test.
Because the mode is self-paced, you can pause and replay keystroke demonstrations as often as needed. The instructor works through sample problems that mirror the format of CFA and FRM multiple-choice items, which helps you build speed and accuracy under timed conditions. A free certificate is available on completion, though the course itself carries no separate accreditation from the CFA Institute or GARP.
This course does not teach broader finance theory from scratch; it assumes you already understand the concepts of present value, future value, and interest rates, and shows you how to enter those problems into the calculator. Learners who need a full grounding in finance fundamentals may want to pair this with a theory-heavy course such as the Complete CFA Level 1 Course also listed in the alternatives. Similarly, if your goal is to learn spreadsheet-based modelling, the Aswini Bajaj | CFA FRM SFM EXCEL course offers Excel-focused training that covers similar certification pathways but uses a different toolset.
Free options include the Aswini Bajaj | CFA FRM SFM EXCEL course, which is listed at no cost and carries a certificate, and this Texas Instruments BA II guide itself, which is also free. Both are self-paced and English-language, but the Bajaj course focuses on Excel modelling while this one is dedicated to calculator keystrokes.
