Hi,
No particular coaching is available. Candidates for the CFA Program and the CIPM program should be able to succeed on the exams by studying the curriculum readings and mastering the Learning Outcome Statements. Some candidates, however, may benefit from using third-party prep courses, review notes, or both as a study supplement.
CFA Institute has established voluntary programs as a means for providers of CIPM and CFA exam prep programs, products, and services to improve their training process for CIPM and CFA Program candidates.

Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people. Opportunities lie in animation design, game design, graphics, storyboarding, 3d modelling, texturing and lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. So going for a generic course covering all or most of these would be the best way to get started in these careers. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring.
