What is the CFA? (Everything you need to know before you sign up)

What is the CFA qualification and is it worth it when working in the world of finance?

As someone who has sat all three levels and works in the world of Private Equity I have first hand experience of what the CFA (or Chartered Financial Analyst) qualification is, how it works and what you need to consider before you take the exam.

In this video I cover:

0:00 - Intro
0:43 - What is the CFA?
1:12 - How to become a CFA Charterholder?
1:36 - What topics does it cover?
2:07 - When can you take the exams?
2:48 - How long does it take to pass the exams?
4:04 - How much does it cost?
5:29 - How hard is the CFA?

These are all questions that we need to answer before we take the time and money to invest into taking a professional qualification such as becoming a CFA Charterholder.

Check out the next video where I discuss the pros, cons, myths and my opinion on whether the CFA exams are worth it.
