Internship Work Experience

I am finding mixed information on the internet on if a full-time internship (sell-side equity research) counts as work experience towards the 48 month requirement. Does anyone have any more information or experience on this topic?

Thanks in advance.

I’m under the impression no, any internship is out

Thank you for your response.

I recall reading somewhere on CFAI website that internships do not count. However, I am no longer able to find that specific text. I’m wondering if they changed work requirements sometime within the past few years…

Curious if anyone has direct experience with internships
