Chartered Financial Analyst Entrance Examination

CFA Institute is a global association of investment professionals that traces its lineage back to the establishment of the Financial Analysts Federation (FAF) in 1947. Leadership of the FAF established an independent organization- the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts (ICFA)- to administer the CFA credential program in 1959 and the ICFA administered the first CFA exams in 1963. Later, the FAF and the ICFA merged to become the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR). In 2004, AIMR changed its name to CFA Institute. With over 100,000 members, and regional societies around the world, CFA Institute is dedicated to developing and promoting the highest educational, ethical, and professional standards in the investment industry.

If you initially enrollregister as a final year undergraduate student with a degree in progress, you may not register for the Level II exam until you have earned your degree, or obtained work experience that meets the program�s entrance requirements. At the time your degree is awarded, you may update your account education information to certify that your degree has been received.

The CFA Program includes a series of three exams that are offered in test centres around the world. These three exams: Level I, Level II, and Level III must be passed sequentially as one of the requirements for earning a CFA charter.
