• At first I was hesitant to purchase an online course, but my fears were quickly alleviated once I realized just how thorough and comprehensive the course was. The 70+ modules covers every section (as per the CFA website) and quizzes you along the way to confirm your understanding of the material. There is no doubt in my mind that I will not be able to pass this exam. Would highly recommend to my fellow CFA level 1 candidates!

Becoming a CFA Charterholder

To become a Chartered Financial Analyst charterholder, you will need to pass three separate exams in sequence. Level 1 exams are offered twice a year, in June and December, but Level II and Level III exams are only offered once each year. Failing to pass an exam means that you will have a long wait before you can attempt it again. Since it will take you about three years to become certified under the best of conditions, it makes sense to optimize your chances of passing on the first attempt.

The CFA Institute states that candidates should allow a minimum of 300 hours reading, studying, and completing online sample exams to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to pass each test. Please note that this is the minimum recommendation, and depending on your professional and academic background, you may need to commit more time to preparation. A self-paced online program that allows you to work when you are most alert and from the comfort of your own home can make this time more productive and pleasant.

If you are ready to gain the credibility, recognition, and competitive advantage that come with CFA certification, there is no better time to begin than now. Show recruiters, managers, and co-workers that you are a serious finance expert who has the confidence and ambition to invest in your own success. You will be earning an internationally recognized credential and gaining membership in global network of finance professionals who have earned the CFA certification.
