see u guys on the 18th of october =p

nevermind thats kasturi's first class for the 2012 june exam

i thought finishing ACCA would be equivalent to a degree?

might as well do the OBU then as a degree?

ben i suggest u ask ur program course director on this, or those in charge of the cfa provider. They might know more

does that mean that with an ACCA alone, it isn't considered a "degree" that is required to continue level 2 cfa and have to obtain 4 years of experience before continuing?

doesn't seem to make alot of sense here ><

i know, so whats with that 4 years experience?

if u get ur ACCA do u still need 4 years of experience before doing cfa. i don't think so right?

YH90, how do you know that they would not check your status with your current university? According to the program coordinator from my tuition provider, they would have checked it since they said it in their email. That being said, I may not know to how much extent is this true.


According to the CFA website,

After your application is received, if all entrance requirements are met and the application is approved, an official acceptance e-mail will be sent to you.

If an applicant/candidate does not properly complete the application within the designated time period or does not meet the entrance requirements, the application will be canceled and the applicant/candidate will receive a reimbursement of all current registration and exam enrollment fees.

this is not a very good system isn't it?

what if the candidate did know know that his degree isn't recognized or stuffs like that?

the thing is, they should have a standard way of determining it.

Added on October 13, 2011, 12:36 pmbtw, if we use this statement against them, they won't be able to do anything. Since they said a confirmation email will only be sent once the entrance requirement is met. We can file a complaint against them.

And it clearly stated that only those that took CFA level 1 during their final year need to show proof of obtaining their degree before proceeding to Level 2. So, people who actually apply after they get their degree does not need to proof anything. It's not like they will know anyway. Hence, the confusion

Correct me if I am wrong.

no kinwing, what i meant was they only post that for admission process not for membership process

if they have done it for membership process also then i would believe that they will probably will revoke their membership if they lie. Thing is, they didn't because they knew they need to do a thorough background check before they are awarded the charter.

Meaning that, due to what they say, they cannot take it back for admission process but for membership process they can because they did not mention anything about approving. Anyway, best is we find a level 2 candidate that hasn't pass his degree then we will know.

Btw, kinwing are u originally from finance background?
I'm from computer science degree, not sure if I'm able to make a switch after CFA level 1. I'm afraid that after level 3 i still cannot make a switch and needed to gain 4 years experience after that. That means a minimum of 7 years before the charter holder @.@

so how when did u switch to finance? after level 1?

y did u go to IT!! stay in IB mar.. i so wanna get into IB. unfortunately i don't know about the existence of IB until in my second year of uni.

why is SAP obsolete soon,

im undergoing the training now 5 weeks 2 days, 8 hours a day >.>

so much to learn, and it's obsolete?!
and yea i got the skillsets u mentioned too.. programming need alot of logic..

no knowledge and experience where to find >"<

hi! congrats for passing all 3 levels

where are u working now?

oh.. u went there to do cfa?

yes yes im taking cfa jun '12

im going for the one in KL though. but i heard u can attend the classes like weekend or weekday after u registered

don't have to follow rules.. but not sure if can interchange with branches or not

no i'm not from banking/IB line

kasturi offers around 150 hours and sunway offers 88 hours for the same price.

I didnt like sunway's program; the people there wasn't really helpful maybe because they are new. Lecturers are flown in to teach.

Kasturi was very helpful and they offer scholarship for top scorers.

Can't comment on noesis though i would be really interested in their placement. (not sure what PE is though)

fino what field r u in now?

only attended 1 class so far, next one is going to be on the 1st nov.

lecturer seem good to me atm

sadly i might have picked up noesis if i went to thier workshop

too bad i didn't know about it and their website do not provide me enough information on the program itself and the career services..
