CFA® Program Information What is the CFA® Program all about? The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) Program is a globally recognised standard for professionals in the financial services industry. The CFA charter is given by the CFA Institute. The first charter was awarded in 1963; the program is over 50 years old. For more information, please visit www.cfainstitute.org. Kaplan Schweser is not affiliated with the CFA Institute. Kaplan Schweser is an independent educational training firm and assists candidates in preparing for the CFA exam. What are the CFA® Program requirements? To qualify for the award of the CFA charter, the CFA Institute has the following requirements: Pass the sequence of three exams, referred to as CFA Level I, CFA Level II, and CFA Level III. These are administered several times a year. You can only take the next level exam after passing the previous level exam. There must be at least six months between each attempt. Accrue 4,000 hours of relevant work experience, completed in a minimum of 36 months. Qualifying hours must include work experience directly relating to the investment decision-making process or producing a work product that informs or adds value to that process. Full-time, part-time, and remote work can qualify. Two to three professional references are to be provided to the CFA Institute. Fulfil the CFA Institute membership requirements, which includes membership with the CFA Institute, as well as a CFA Institute Member Society Chapter.

Do you have the CFA Institute's contact information? Website: www.cfainstitute.org Email: info@cfainstitute.org Phone: 0011-800-8228-8820 (from Australia) What is a Learning Outcome Statement (LOS)? Starting from a general body of knowledge, the CFA Institute assigns a set of readings from textbooks and journal articles for different subject areas: economics, ethics, equity, corporate finance, accounting/financial statement analysis, fixed income securities, markets, portfolio management, and quantitative methods. Each reading has a set of learning outcomes and the CFA Institute constructs these learning outcome statements to focus the candidate’s study efforts on particular topics within a particular reading. What is the pass rate for the CFA® exams? Pass rates for the exams vary from year to year and from level to level. Visit the CFA Institute for more information. How long will it take for me to complete the CFA® Program? While it can be possible to pass all three exams within 18 months, it usually takes people longer due to their other time commitments, such as a full-time job, etc. The average time to complete the three exams is over four years. Our goal is to help you minimise this time commitment. Why are Kaplan Schweser's pass rates not published? The CFA Institute’s Prep Provider Guidelines do not allow us to publish or communicate pass rates in any provider materials. CFA® Exam Format What is the new CFA exam format? From 2021, CFA Institute transitioned all CFA exams to computer-based testing. Each exam will be offered in scheduling windows of up to ten days, depending on location. Please visit the CFA Institute website for more details. Why has the CFA Institute moved to computer-based testing? CFA Institute moved from paper-based to computer-based testing for all levels in 2021 to provide greater exam scheduling flexibility and an exam that reflects today’s digital workplace. The new change enables the exam to be offered in 400+ locations around the world. Additionally, the computer-based testing environment and additional dates and times available means that fewer candidates will sit for the exam at the same time, which reduces personal risk compared to the high-capacity venues used for the paper-based test. Please visit the CFA Institute website for more details. When do exam registrations close? Registration deadlines vary for each CFA exam. Please visit the CFA Institute website for the latest exam registration information. I need to defer my exam to another exam window. What do I do? In the event you need to reschedule your CFA exam, you may be eligible for a deferral to another exam window, depending on your personal circumstances. You’ll first need to contact the CFA Institute or visit their website to find out what options are available to you and follow the appropriate process. If you’ve been approved by the CFA Institute to defer your exam to another exam window, you can request for an extension on your Kaplan Schweser study package. To meet eligibility requirements, you’ll need to provide proof of your new exam registration from the CFA Institute. If you’re extending access to a study package within the same calendar year, a $50 fee will apply. If you’re extending access to a study package in a new calendar year, a $100 fee will apply. A higher fee will apply for a new calendar year due to the CFA curriculum changing each year. Simply contact us on 1300 135 798 (option 1) or studentadvice@kaplan.edu.au for more information or to request an extension.
