How does it work? Do you need to ask previous (and current) supervisors to write reference letters? Or is it an official process through employer’s HR Dept?
Not official and not HR just submit a link with their deets and email and if they are both CFAs you only need two references but if not then three people. Everything is done online.
I got approved pretty quickly within like a week. Now just hoping for a pass. Fingers crossed.
I used a colleague and supervisor of mine who are both charterholder. The rest of the app hasn’t been approved yet, but I’m anticipating that part can’t be harder than the work experience tidbit.
I have about 46 months of work experience as of today. Is there any benefit of getting these 46 months ‘‘cleared’’ and submitting the last 2 months after getting the results and hitting the 48 month mark?
I’m in Singapore. I have 2 former supervisors support me, Both CFA, but since one is in Melbourne, the other in HK, its not good enough. And i need a third one.
Silly rule really. Anyone else come across this issue?
Sorry for being ignorant - you still did not pay for the membership and you will get CFA charter automatically if you pass? That does not sound right to me. I thought that once you get approved and pass the exam, you finally have to complete the payment in order to be able to claim the charter. Otherwise, you can declare yourself as “Passed CFA Level 3”, am I right?
If you applied, got approved, and paid prior the release of the results. On the day of the results if you passed you will find the three letter beside your name right away and of course you can use the charter immediately (update your LinkedIn and print business cards).
Applying for the membership doesn’t require passing level 3 or level 2, just passing level 1 is enough (plus other requirements).
Is it possible to get work experience approved and everything else ready (except paying the due) before the results release? Not willing to pay for the membership in case I end up not passing for some reason.
