Hey even I was his Level 1 student. And you being from Pune were you in New Horizons class? And hey even though it was virtual thing this guy has the most energy to make boring sections like FRA more interesting at least for Level 1 he is recommended. Not Sure abt. L II though. For that thing CFAI text is the norm.

No friend, I was his level 1 student in Chennai and I still live in Chennai (sigh)! Yep, had videos only and had emailed him a couple of times and got prompt reply with clarifications. I loved his energy and pointed us correctly to important concepts and NAILED IT INTO MY HEAD :) I also purchased L2 videos of 2010 from Stalla and was amazing in that as well :)
Unfortunately that bloke doesnt take L3 classes else I would have been the first one to order Elan :)
 
You need to first sign up/log in and then go to packages to see the availability schedule. The direct link doesn’t work.

FOR ME, HE JUST SEEMED LIKE AN AVERAGE INSTRUCTOR. A GREAT PRESENTER, BUT JUST AVERAGE COMPARED TO SOME OF THE PROFESSORS I HAD IN COLLEGE IN TERMS OF WHAT I WOULD CATEGORIZE, EXPERTISE IN MATERIAL HE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH. EXAMPLE, A SECTION INVOLVING KNOWLEDGE OVER COMPUTER, FIREWALLS, NETWORK AND DATABASES I FELT LIKE A LITTLE MODESTY WOULD HAVE SUITED THE PROGRAM WELL. HOWEVER, CAUSE I BET SINCE HE ONLY TEACHES THE BOOKS AND DOES NOT WRITE EM YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH FOR PAYING FOR SOMEONE TO READ YOU THE IMPORTANT MATERIAL. LASTLY, I GOT A SENSE THAT HE HAD THE NATURAL ABILITIES TO BECOME A STAR INSTRUCTOR N PERHAPS THERE IS MORE MONEY IN FOR HIM A GUY WHOS GOT A JD.CPA.CFA?ETC TO TEACH ONLINE CLASSES INSTEAD OF PRACTICE LAW, BUT THEN AGAIN I REMEBER THE BECKERS CPA REVIEW COURE COSTING $3000, SO NO SURPRISE.

John Harris is incredibly overrated. I went to his class and still scored below 50 in FRA. I would strongly urge against going to see him.

Interesting. Can someone else also shed some light on John Harris’ classes? Two days for $500 is steep I think especially when all of Schweser’s vieos are 500 and Elan’s are $350. Is Peter Onlinto better? The Level III folks seem to love him http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-iii-forum/91314340 and I think he does Elan’s FRA videos.
