Information Required:::::::LIFA - Muhammad Amir - 10-25-2007
Dear Esteem Members,
I want to know about LIFA. Its pre requisites, Admission critaria, Pakistan spacially Karachi Chapter's address.
Actually I wanted to start CFA but as you know that their strict requirement is to have atleast a becholr's degree or 4 yeras of work experiance but still i do not have any bechlor's degree and i do not want to waste my time in BCom or BSc or others. I also contact CFA through Email and i told them that i am willing to sit in exams but their response was disapointing...
You can read it below...
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Mr. Amir,
Thank you for contacting us. To fulfill the entrance requirements, you must
Have a U.S. bachelorâs (or equivalent) degree, be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program, or have four years of qualified, professional work experience or a combination of work and college experience that totals at least four years. (In general, you must have reached a level of study that qualifies you for acceptance to university graduate programs in the country where you earned your undergraduate degree. If you need assistance to determine whether or not your degree is comparable to a U.S. bachelorâs degree, we suggest that you contact your college or university for guidance.);
Meet the professional conduct admission criteria (During the application process, you will be asked to sign statements of Professional Conduct -http//www.cfainstitute.org/centre/ethics/code/index.html and Candidate Responsibility - http//www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/resources/examdetails/responsibilities.html.);
Be prepared to take the exams in English;
Pay the required fees (http//www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/register/fees.html).
If you can certify that your ACCA qualification is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree or higher (or equivalent), it will be acceptable for entrance into the CFA Program.
You can sign up for the CFA Program at http//www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/register/index.html. Good luck as you pursue the CFA designation!

Dear Muhammad
Thank you for your message.
Yes, you qualify for the LIFA Exam Scholarship and Waiver Program, which allows you to bypass the Stage I and II LIFA exams and sit for the Stage III LIFA exam. We suggest registering now to guarantee your Scholarship and Waiver. Complete details may be viewed and you may sign up at

Recognition of the LIFA Program is growing, as a record number of candidates are sitting for the LIFA exam.
To ensure your Scholarship, please schedule your exam now for the latest date available to you. Then, you can re-schedule later, with the date you really desire. If you re-schedule your exam, you will not incur another fee. The Prometric exam center scheduling is very flexible. If you desire to change your exam date, be sure to do so before 5 days prior to your scheduled exam date.
Before your Scholarship expires, you should schedule your exam now with Prometric to reserve your seat. You can always change your exam date later, but at least you will ensure your seat and your Scholarship.
