That's great. If I know any openings in IB CF, you want me to spam you on that?

That'd be great! I'm looking at overseas opportunities too. How about you? Future plans?

From a positive view, Level 2 goes in deeper and is more interesting compared to Level 1.

I actually enjoy L2 more than L3 hmm.gif

Many thanks for the reply.

It's clear to me now.

So this qualifications is meant to complement Uni Degree, not to substitute it. Correct?

Anyways, if one has got a professional qualifications from other accounting bodies, can it be used to study CFA?

Take professional qualification as a niche to specialise...in this case it would be finance.

And yes, having another qualification does not restrict you from taking cfa smile.gif

Say, one has got ACCA, but no degree.
Can it used to study CFA?

Or does one need to have degree only then can take CFA?

If I'm not mistaken you need to have a degree.
