How difficult is the CFA and FRM double-certificate exam of Jincheng Education?

How about CFA and FRM double certificates? How to choose them?

Make a table and compare the differences between CFA and FRM certificates:

If you are a freshman, you want to prepare a certificate in finance.

You can choose FRM first, and then take CFA.

The threshold of FRM exam is very low. If you want to develop towards financial risk control in the future, FRM is a good choice. You can prepare for the exam at the beginning of your freshman year, and you can basically finish FRM Level 1 and 2 in your sophomore year and junior year, and then prepare CFA on this basis. With FRM's financial infrastructure, it is easy to learn CFA.

If you are an employee in the financial industry, you have certain professional knowledge.

You can choose to take CFA first.

Because if you take the FRM exam after you have the knowledge base of CFA, it will be easier and more likely to pass.

If you are employed in the non-financial industry, you have no or weak financial foundation.

You can choose CFA level one, then FRM level one or two, and finally CFA level two or three.

Because this examination sequence is a process from the shallow to the deep, FRM 1-2 is less difficult for CFA Level 2, so passing FRM 1-2 first can also be of great help to CFA Level 2.

How about CFA and FRM double certificates? Which job is easier?

The certificate itself is not decisive for employment. However, the original intention of most candidates to take the exam is to get employment or change careers, so whether there is employment assistance depends on everyone's own development. At present, if there are 50 corresponding results on the websites looking for jobs in the United States with the keyword "FRM", there will be at least 65,438+000 CFA searches, so FRM is targeted. If you want to engage in the field of financial risk control, it is worthwhile to choose to prepare for the exam.

How helpful is it to employment?

In the job description of Wall Street, if CFA is mentioned, it is usually said as follows: "You will get extra points for participating in CFA projects." In other words, whether you have passed the exam or not is not the most deadly screening criterion.

However, if you happen to be preparing for CFA or FRM when you are looking for a job, the knowledge inside will make your interview relatively easy and ensure that the knowledge link will not be badly hurt.

That's all my answer. I remind you that although the benefits brought by dual certificates are obvious, it is still difficult to prepare for the exam, especially the CFA Level 3 exam. You should prepare a preparation plan according to your actual situation. If 0-based candidates suggest to report to professional training institutions, the exam in 2022 is coming soon.
