Program Overview
The CFA Program is a three-part exam that tests the fundamentals of investment tools, valuing assets, portfolio management, and wealth planning. The CFA Program is typically completed by those with backgrounds in finance, accounting, economics, or business.
In Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Middle East generally, we strongly believe that passing CFA level intense practical knowledge about everything related to finance and investment, higher chances to answer technical interview questions, and more chances for promotions in work that is related to finance and investment.
