try google? my friend did it before...

To become a chartered holder, you need to have 4 years of relevant work experience on top of passing all 3 exams.

If you already in the industry, i dont think CFA will add alot of value in entering top tier IBs.

If you are not, then, passing the exams will definitely add value to your CV.

need to renew every year by paying fees.

Cfa is more to equity research and fund management. Unless, u entering the above-mentioned industries, u can no need to take cfa.

Interviewer will *zha* u with above usually, so u need to know how to bull la.

U sure bro ? U took acca before ? I mean I haven't take acca before, and my understanding from friend is that acca accounting is difficul than cfa

nais... now i feel abit proud.. muahahaha

Noesis is good... but their lecturer dont have field experience. For example, corporate finance subject will be taught by someone who hasnt work in corporate finance before. However, the corporate finance lecturer is good in teaching, and can make you understand the subject easier and eventually pass.

So, if you are looking just to pass the exam, then noesis is a good choice overall... But if you are looking for some insider news, hoping to know what they really do in equity research/corporate finance , then probably not a good choice. Still, you may still able to make some friend with other students who are in the field.
