QUOTE(eggyolk @ Apr 19 2010, 11:57 AM) Passing CFA Level 1 is considered a good achievement as it is equivalent to a degree that is well recognised around the world. Of cause passing the other two levels will increased your value and your knowledge even more no doubt. Well, my uni is a CFA program partner. All i can say is that CFA Level 1 material is basically the cramped version of my Accounting and Finance major degree. CFA Level 2 go more advanced and in-depth a bit, as well as more practical. As for Level 3, i haven't took it yet.  |

You need to have at least 4 years of related working experience and pass all the 3 exams before you can become a CFA charterholder.
The fastest you can complete the exams is 2.5 years. (Level 1 in Dec, and Level 2 and Level 3 in June respectively). If you have studied Accounting and/or Finance in your degree, self-study on Level 1 should be no problem. Level 2 and Level 3 is much harder than Level 1. So i guess it depends on individuals. Good luck to all on 6th June. !!! |

As far as i know, nobody do CFA full-time (not like ACCA). Most study for it while working.
In worst case, people just resigned from their jobs a few months before the exam and studied for it. |

Sorry. Don't think so.
Level 1 topics and subjects is similar to the courses in a finance degree. |

Dude, the price you see doesn't include international shipping and handling. Free Shipping is for US domestic only.
Price at amazon (including international shipping) will only be cheaper if you bought a single item that cost about rm300 in Malaysia. That is of course if there is also substantial discount given by Amazon |

QUOTE(gooni3 @ Nov 4 2011, 05:35 PM) IRC = intensive revision course CFA is not the golden ticket to the industry. Not sure why (some) people have the mindset that CFA equates to being an analyst (or part of the requirement of being an analyst), much like ACCA/CPA equates to being an accountant. It doesn't work that way.btw, Justin, u've just registered today i see, when u said we, do u mean u're one of the charterholders around? It is true what you guys said about our market not really needing CFA at the moment, but I really think they should at least regard us as a prestigious group of ppl. It is really a shame that many people do not know about this qualification and also the vigorous curriculum we all go through. People with at least this qualification should at least be regarded as higher than masters and I really do not understand why IB's don't think of this qualification is comparable to some accounting or finance degree background. IB's would give interview to people who have accounting or finance degree background when they are fresh graduates, while people who want to switch careers like us go thru hell with this curriculum and not given much opportunity? I kinda find this a bit unreasonable. Might as well do another degree in finance right or master in finance? Shorter time. About big investment banks and hedge funds, when you said relevant experience and MBA, do you mean that they will not take freshies even for entry level jobs? Because prior to obtaining an MBA you will need a significant amount of work experience, ie. Ivy league schools will prolly have an average MBA candidates of age 29. If that is so, it is out of the question at the moment. (still got plenty of time to prepare for that) Hope that they will at least in the near future, recognize us more when the job market becomes more competitive. Thats why getting it now is better. hahaha Anyway, what is the CFA for then, if it is not so useful here. It is so difficult to pass and takes 4 years to complete on average? why is everyone taking it then? Passing the 3 papers just means that "Great, you can read and write financial concept." But do you really understand and are able to apply the concept practically? (Having said that, theory doesn't always works practically in real life) |
