To register for the CFA®
program, you must have either a bachelor's
degree or at least four years of professional
work experience. As both the course and exams
are highly technical, you should have sound
numeric ability.
Applicants pay an initial registration fee
on entering the CFA® Program.
In addition to the initial registration fee,
applicants are required to pay an enrolment
fee for each examination. New registrants
pay both the registration and enrolment fees.
Returning candidates pay only the enrolment
fee. |
