而，要成为一名CFA并非易事， 必须经过学院统一组织的严格考试。应考人员至少应有大学学历，但可以不具备证券投资实际经历，这很类似于我国的"律师资格考试"、"会计资格考试"制度。 考试分三个水平等级，各个水平分别出题，每一水平试题又分为上午和下午题各三小时。应考人员每次只能选其中某一水平的等级考试。候选人要想通过资格考试至 少要三年，且考试内容具有较高难度。虽为非学历考试，但由于CFA发起者"金融分析师联合会"的权威和影响，以及获得该资格后享受优厚的待遇，所以考生趋 之若鹬。
下面是开设有cfa课程的大学名单：
1.美国旧金山大学：
是目前美国第一所办金融分析硕士的大学。该学位直接针对金融行业的基础职位-金融分析师。而且在教学中注重实际操作能 力，同时要求学生参加CFA考试获得职业资格证书，又提供了6个月的实习机会，为国际学生在国际金融市场就业提供了有力的保障。对于那些愿意回到中国工作 的申请人而言，6个月的海外工作经验和CFA证书也将极大的增强他们在国内金融机构的竞争力。
2.加拿大圣玛丽大学
圣玛丽大学的金融硕士是专门为那些期望成为特许金融分析师（CFA）和高级财务经理的专业人事而设，该课程通过课堂教 授、数据模拟、专业实践以及与注明工商企业和金融机构的互动合作，使学生在最短的时间内获得成为国际金融人才的必备知识和技能。
3.澳 大利亚拉筹伯大学（La Trobe University）

CFA考试的学习资料主要有两类：
专业机构出版的"Study Notes"与CFA的指定教材。
Study Notes就像是快餐，帮助考生总结复习要点，节约时间，但原来知识点中内在的逻辑关系可能被省 略，有些notes甚至没有覆盖到考试要点。
相比之下，CFA指定的原版教材，虽然复习量较大，但保证了内容的原汁原味。因此，建议考生看原版教材，这样学到的知识 才扎实。对于选择notes的考生，应尽量选那些内容相对全面的版本，结合指定教材进行复习。
建议：CFA LEVEL 1 考试可以只学习Schweser Study Notes，CFA INSTITUTE 官方指定教材可以不学习，原因CFA LEVEL 1 考试相对简单，Schweser Study Notes 足以应付考试，当然如果时间足够，建议阅读CFA INSTITUTE官方指定教材，一般CFA LEVEL 1 考 试准备300－400小时即可。
