Few things to clerify for you:
1. There is no requirement for module 6 and 7 examinations. Any Malaysian can register for the examinations.
2. Module 6 and 7 examinations are one of the prerequisites of CMSRL (usually called dealer's representative license) dealing in securities (stocks). Fund management and derivatives (futures) licenses require different examinations (for futures, either 2 from paper 14, 16, 17 and 18; for fund management paper 9 and 10).
3. You can register the examinations and go take it yourself or register under the dealer (brokerage firm or investment bank) you work at.
4. However, after you pass your papers, when applying for the CMSRL, there are requirements: you need:
a) A recognized degree (in any field) or
b) A diploma in related fields (Economics, finance etc.) or
c) A diploma from Bank Negara Malaysia Institutions or
d) A diploma in any field with 2 years related experience (in capital market) or
e) SPM with at least 4 years experience in capital market (bear in mind that this is subject to SC's consideration, and usually application will be rejected unless there are exceptional circumstances)
5. Here is what you can do: Obtain a related recognized diploma. Part time diploma is accepted as long as it is recognized by government of Malaysia (MQA). You can either get a job in an investment bank while studying for your diploma or get into investment banking after obtaining your diploma. Other than that, you may try to get into investment banking without a diploma and after > 4 years hope your application for the CMSRL will be successful (slim chance)
6. Bear in mind that you need to apply for the CMSRL within 2 years after passing your examinations.
7. Usually fund management positions require more than recognized degree such as professional qualifications (CFA, CPA etc.) and experience. Some even requires post graduate qualifications.
Hope this helps.
