I passed Level 3 this year and I’m in the process of applying for Hong Kong’s “Quality Migrant” visa. In the application they have a point system where you are awarded extra points based on the number of degrees you hold.
I don’t have the required work experience to be a Regular member yet so I am applying for an Affiliate membership. Am I able to classify having passed all three levels as equivalent to a Bachelors/Masters degree to increase my score in order to make my application more credible?
"The CFA Program and CFA charter, the globally recognized investment management qualification and designation administered by CFA Institute, have been benchmarked as comparable to a QCF Master’s Level 7 qualification within the English Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) by the National Recognition Information Centre (UK NARIC). UK NARIC is the UK National Agency responsible for providing information, advice, and expert opinion on vocational, academic, and professional skills and qualifications. Learn more about UK NARIC and the QCF.
The analysis by UK NARIC provides an independent benchmarking of Levels I, II, and III of the CFA Program and the CFA charter against levels within the QCF. As a frame of reference for the QCF, a doctorate (PhD) sits at level eight and the school-leaver A-level qualification at level three."
For a UK-based application, potentially this may apply. Not sure whether it would qualify for Singapore though. Have a go at the link below:
