• After Graduation: You can apply after completing a bachelor's degree.
• During Graduation: You can also apply while studying for your bachelor's degree if you meet the CFA Institute's eligibility requirements.

Another Option:

• You can also qualify without completing a bachelor's degree if you have a combination of higher education and professional work experience. You need a total of 4,000 hours completed over at least 3 years.
Example: You studied at a college for 2 years but did not complete your bachelor's degree. After that, you worked for 2,000 hours. Your college education (2,000 hours) + work experience (2,000 hours) = 4,000 hours. If you complete these 4,000 hours over 3 years or more, you may be eligible for the CFA Program.

Passport:

• You need a valid international passport to register for and take the CFA exam.
