WHAT IS CFA®? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
CFA® stands for Chartered Financial Analyst®. According to the CFA® Institute, the CFA® designation is a mark of distinction that is globally recognized by employers, investment professionals and investors as the definitive standard by which to measure serious investment professionals.
Becoming a CFA® charter will make you a distinct candidate for several positions at major financial service firms, consultancy, brokerage, banks, and insurance firms worldwide. If you are interested in having a career advancement in the investment profession, CFA® is a must!
If you are a college student in the senior year, passing CFA® level I is the best way to show that you are well-equipped with practical knowledge in finance and ready to work in the financial industry. Passing CFA® level I could create a more positive impact on your qualification than holding a degree from a leading university in the country.

WHY SHOULD I SPEND EXTRA MONEY ON A CFA® PREPARATORY COURSE?
In order to be a CFA® charter, candidates must pass all three levels of CFA® exam. Each level of the exam is costly and the average success rates for all three levels are less than 50%. Hence, it is definitely worth spending money to have a capable tutor guiding your preparation so that you can be ready and successfully pass each level in one shot. The expenses and effort related to a preparatory course are much lower than those related to an exam retake.
