Hello,
Is it fine to put Passed Level I of the CFA Program in December 2015 under certification on Linkedin?
Thank you.

Should be. Just can’t say L2 candidate until you actually register for the exam.
EDIT: I may not put it under “certifications”, but that’s me being conservatively paranoid
You may do it but under education section not under certification unless you are charter holder.

Is it a violation if I put it under certification? The CFA institute logo doesn’t pop up under “school” and this
http://www.300hours.com/articles/maximize-your-cfa-status-on-your-cv
shows that you can put it under certification. It actually looks better under certification since the CFA logo pops up.
That’s the point. Showing the CFA Institute logo on your profile you leave the wrong impression that you are chartered. I also made same by joining into program but made immediate correction as I was finishing Ethics chapter 1st reading.
There are clear instructions on link that I put, the rest is your risk. Anway, just try, maybe nothing will happen so you would be able to share your experience:)

Yeah offficial guidelines on the CFAI site state clearly that it must be entered under the education section while you are a candidate, and can only place it under the certifications section once you are a charter holder.
do you put CFA Institute as the school? and Passed Level I of the CFA Program in December 2015 as the description or field of study?
IMO, it’s not strictly prescribed. I put CFA on the top, next row below “CFA Institute” and then Passed Level 1.
Watch out to do not mention expected finishing program, just leave this cell empty.
Direct from CFAI site…
If you are a candidate in the CFA Program, you may indicate your status—in the Educationsection—based on
If you have completed all three levels of the CFA Program, but have not completed the work experience requirement, you may state: “Passed all three levels of the CFA Program and may be awarded the charter upon completion of the required work experience.”
Do not use your candidacy in the Heading of your profile. Do not indicate an “Expected” date.
Yeaa I’m not sure what goes where… I’ll probably just put CFA Institute and then passed level 1…
You don’t need to enter a school or anything, just write Passed Level 1 of the CFA Program in the top box and click save…simple as pie.
eh maybe its just me but that doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing…
I put it under education and I put CFA institute as the school =p
