Advice needed: Studying for CAIA and CFA programs at the same time

CAIA
#1

Hi everyone,

I am a CFA Level III candidate sitting for the June exam but was interested in enrolling in the CAIA Program. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience in studying for both at the same time. Any advice, opinions, stories etc is greatly appreciated

Thanks

My timeline

CFA L1: June 2012 CAIA L1: September 2012 CAIA L2: March 2013 CFA L2: June 2013 CFA L3: June 2014 My advice is make CFA and CAIA your life. Create a very detailed schedule and monitor your progress every day. I tried to overlap some alt stuff in CAIA with CFA…not much overlap to be honest. Ethics is the one true overlap. Use the schweser Qbank. Live and breathe CAIA and CFA!

You don’t need to start revising for the CAIA Sept until you have finished CFA III, plenty of time. Consentrate on CFA then move to CAIA

I’ve enrolled in CAIA L1 for coming March and CFA L3 in June. My planning is to do 2 CFA books from now until Jan mid and then study for CAIA till exam date ending Feb and then get back to CFA L3. What study material you plan to get for CAIA?

I am just thinking about doing FRM April Level 1 as well (On top of CAIA 1 and CFA 3). Would this be doable?
