Introduction

The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) program is the professional qualification administered and awarded by the CFA Institute, based in the United States.

The program is enjoying dramatic growth worldwide, which the CFA Institute attributes to the relevance of the syllabus, the rigour of the examination and the high standards of professionalism that it demands. In short, it is becoming the accepted benchmark for technical excellence in the financial markets.

Candidates must pass three levels of examinations sequentially. Each level is based on the same 'body of knowledge' and candidates face six hours of examination, a three-hour morning session and a three-hour afternoon session. CFA Level I exam takes place twice a year (June and December). CFA Levels II & III exams are held once a year (June).

While taking the CFA program with Kaplan Financial will enhance your understanding of the material, it is important not to underestimate your commitment to self study when preparing for the CFA exams.
