Is there a place to verify if someone claims they have passed Level 2, or Level 3? CFAI has a directory that I found, but it was only for charterholders. I want to check if someone has really passed L2 or L3. Thanks, NC
Ask him to login onto CFA website in front of you and check his last year’s result.

NC, I took a look at the CFAI website and I don’t think you can verify exam results without the candidate’s cooperation. If you’re his/her employer or prospective employer, it seems reasonable to ask for a printout of the exam results or an official letter from CFAI, but you should probably work through HR. See below two relevant excerpts from the website. “Print a copy of your results as a permanent record. Results will be available for approximately one year after the exam date. Subsequently, an official letter can be provided indicating only a pass or fail result; the analysis grid will not be available.” http://cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/resources/examdetails/examresults.html “May my employer verify the status of my application? CFA Institute may only verify for an employer the receipt of any recent payments they have made on your behalf. All other information is confidential. Candidates must contact CFA Institute directly for further assistance.” https://www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/faq/faqs_candidates.html Also, the directory includes all three types of members, not just the charterholders. However, not all candidates have applied for membership. Some wait until passing LIII or obtaining enough relevant work experience. http://cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/charterholder/membership/index.html Good luck.
