Got approved last year, failed. Hope the Jinx runs out after 1 year…

#7

If I apply for membership, can I simply wait til I get the results to pay the dues, so that I don’t pay in the event of a fail? Thinking about getting the recommendations done and applying soon, but unsure how it works.

#8

First you should apply for membership. Second, wait for approval. Third, you should fill personal conduct statement and pay membership to become a regular member. Whole process can take for a couple of weeks. I don’t know what would happen if you finish first and second stage and then delay payment for one year if you fail an exam.

hi Guys,

Can somebody guide me on this- where do we need to apply the references and membership please?

Thanks,

There is a link on your CFA portal account. Click and follow instruction. You should apply for regular membership.

Does anyone know what format should the reference be? Anything specific or very high level?

#13

I am a computer and electronic engineer, never work in finance. Can i use my semiconductor industry experience to apply for charter?
