Enrolling

Before you enroll in the CFA Program and register for your first exam meet the entrance requirements:

• Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree
  • or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration
  • or have four years of qualified, professional work experience
  • or have a combination of work and college experience that totals at least four years (Note: Summer, part-time, and internship positions do not qualify)
• If you initially enroll/register 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.
• Understand the professional conduct requirements (you will be asked to sign the Professional Conduct Statement and Candidate Responsibility Statement)
• Be prepared to take the exams in English

Fees

Applicants pay an initial one-time enrollment fee upon entering the the CFA Program. In addition, applicants are required to pay a registration fee for each exam. Returning candidates pay only the exam registration fee.

The total fees for the CFA currently do not exceed 3700 USD (if each exam is only taken once, prep courses not included).
