What is the CFA Program?
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is an international professional designation offered by the CFA Institute to financial analysts who complete a series of three examinations. In order to become a “CFA Charterholder,” candidates must pass all three six-hour exams, possess a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent, as assessed by the CFA institute) and have 48 months of work experience in an investment decision-making position.
When are the CFA exams held?
Level I exams are held in June and December. Levels II and III are only held in June. Exams for all levels are held in locations around the world. For a listing of CFA testing centers, visit the CFA Institute website.
