What are the necessary requirements to enrol for CFA?

Is a degree part of the requirement?

But say take level 1, then cannot proceed further to level 2 & 3 if don't have degree?

So hv to lvl l --> degree --> lvl 2 & 3
Or degree --> lvl 1, 2, & 3?

Out of topic.. Im already grad and working for 2 yrs.. Which body or employer offer financial assist or education fund to study CFA?

Thinking of switching line from normal credit officer into investment/financial consultant line. Pls advise me... thanks.

Hi guys I wanted to enroll CFA soon as I am interested in the subjects however I am not too sure of some questions and hope you can clarify with me, thanks.

1) Is CFA difficult to pass? I heard that level 1 itself is tough enough with only 30% of passing rate each year.

2) I do not have any economic, accounting, finance, taxation and banking knowledge since I was from science stream in middle school and my degree has nothing to do with accounting and finance. Therefore will it be like ‘extra’ hard for me compare to all of you. And if yes, does that mean I have got no choice but to take up classes in institutions.

3) What are the recommended colleges, institutions so far? And approximately how do they charge? If I preferred those which are located in KL.

4) Are the subjects bulky and very incomprehensible? Because I am working full time now therefore I will have to study and work at the same time. Therefore under such circumstances is it possible for me to pass everything smoothly in this 3 years.

5) What would CFA help in my future career?

6) Besides CFA, are there any other recommended courses for me to take up?

Thank you for your guidance in advance.
