How do I become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)?
The Chartered Financial Analyst registration is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of financial analysts. The curriculum develops and reinforces the knowledge of investment principles. Three levels of examination (one test/level each year for three years) measure the candidate’s knowledge. The exam is given the first Saturday and Sunday of June in over 70 nations.
Exam Requirements: Candidates must complete the exams sequentially and may sit for only one exam each year. Candidates who fail repeat that level the next year. Level 1 consists of multiple-choice questions, Levels 2 and 3 consist of problems, cases, essays, and a small number of multiple-choice questions.
Application processing takes about three weeks with the final deadpline generally being March 1. Applications can be filed over a specific time period with certain cut-off dates; the closer to the actual exam, the more expensive the application fee is.
