報考cfa 的問題

1) Apart from a University degree, you can enter the CFA program with four years of qualified, professional work experience or a combination of work and college experience that totals at least 4years. Accounting profession falls in the categories of CFA approved professional work experience. Take a look the webpage:

Btw, I got a friend with an ACCA qualification already passed all the 3 levels exam.

2) Only 2 types of Fees are involved - Program enrollment fees and Exam registration fees. Most up-to-date fees schedule are as follows:
