The CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam is a professional certification exam administered by the CFA Institute. It is designed to measure a candidate’s understanding of investment management, financial analysis, and related subjects. The CFA designation is highly regarded in the finance industry, particularly for roles in investment management, research, and portfolio management.
The CFA program consists of three levels:
- Level 1: Focuses on basic knowledge of investment tools and concepts.
- Level 2: Emphasizes asset valuation and applying concepts in real-world scenarios.
- Level 3: Concentrates on portfolio management and wealth planning, with a mix of multiple-choice questions and essay-format responses.
- Level 1: Multiple-choice questions.
- Level 2: Vignette-supported multiple-choice questions (longer case studies followed by multiple-choice questions).

To register for the CFA exam, candidates must meet one of the following:
- Have a bachelor’s degree or be in the final year of their degree program.
- Have a combination of professional work experience and education totaling at least four years.
- Be prepared to study for an average of 300 hours per exam level.
The CFA exams are held multiple times a year, but the availability varies by level:
- Level 1: Offered four times a year (February, May, August, November).
- Level 2: Offered two times a year (February, August).
