I've assessed syllabi of both CFA and FRM (GARP). FRM is not more 'in depth' than CFA, but again it depends on how you're thinking of it I guess.
As far as Zia Khan is concerned, none of his students has passed CFA Level I. Less than five appeared for the first time in June 2005. The results are not out yet.
Secondly, the programme commenced in Jan 2004, and uptil now only five have been able to clear CMA part I and II? Doesn't seem impressive to me.
The programme states that you complete ACCA, CMA, CFM, CPA, CFA and MBA from some Dadabhoy University (excuse my spelling blunders) in three or four years. Now how do you define that as practical? Studying for various different accounting standards and appearing for such exams in such a short while doesn't seem practical to me. But then again, different people different perspectives.
