What's in it for employers?
The CFA Program provides the strongest foundation in finance, economics and advanced investment analysis along with an exceptional focus on Ethics and Professional Standards. CFA Candidates include students at any of the three levels of exams while they become CFA Charterholders after clearing all 3 exams and have to acquire four year experience in relevant functions.
CFA Candidates have the potential to add value to an organization as clearing even CFA Level I requires sound understanding of Finance concepts along with an exceptional focus on Ethics and Professional Standards as core study modules. We recommend viewing the CFA Program Curriculum and CFA Exam pass rates which gives a good idea of how rigorous the exams are.
Through this program, companies can prepare skilled trainees to take up permanent roles in Finance, Investments, Research, Business Development and several other departments in future.
Basic Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria may vary from company to company, however, a Bachelor's degree from a recognized institute and having passed Level I of the CFA Exam is the basic requirement.
How to apply (for Candidates)?
