Mark Meldrum, Salt Solutions and many more prep providers build their own learning ecosystem with question banks, mocks, progress tracker, etc. Why does CFA need to pay someone else to build it for them?

This is their fundamental business model, educating candidates and they're offshoring that very critical aspect.

I understand why universities or schools choose Moodle or Canvas, because they have significantly more infrastructure, students and administration needs. But CFA's only requirements is giving a place for candidates to study, pass and the odd ethics breach investigations. Even the charterholders meeting aspect is primarily taken care by the respective societies.

I honestly wish this institute had a competition.

Edit: So Mark Meldrum also uses a 3rd party provider, obviously not Canvas. But I still believe CFAI should build their own.
