Hi Prakash,

If you want to work in USA then you must have CPA.

and if you want to work any where in world but specifically in financial sector then you should go for CFA.

Hi All,

Here are the details of the Mock CFA Level 1 test conducted by US based CFA prep company Elan Guides (www.elanguides.com).

Please note the date, timing and venue for the Free Mock CFA, Level 1.

The free mock exam of 3 hours will be followed by a Q&A session by Basit, CEO, Elan Guides, USA. He would highlight on the focus areas of prep for the CFA test, and specifically on what does not get covered sufficiently in popular CFA prep books.

Basit's profile is as follows:Basit is a CFA graduated with honors from the world renowned Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, USA with majors in Finance and Legal Studies. He went on to obtain his CFA Charter in 2006, passing all three Levels at the first attempt. Basit has his own private wealth management business, and has been teaching CFA candidates across all three levels for the past several years. At Elan Guides, aside from being a member of the Board of Directors, he is a part of the content team and also the lead Level I lecturer.

The venue:
Shishuvihar School,
Ground floor (Air Conditioned) class rooms,
Lakhamsi Nappu Road, Hindu Colony,
Diagonally Opp: Ruia College
Dadar (E), Mumbai 400 014.

This is diagonally opposite to Ruia College and right behind Raja Shivaji Vidyalaya. This is an 5 minutes walk from Dadar Railway Station.

The date: 22nd May, Saturday

The Timings: 5:30 p.m. to 9.30 (or more if required). People may come in earlier (4.30 p.m.) if you would like to interact with our faculty.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Anshul

I would recommend CFA. Also you can take other short term certifications like FLIP certifications, IIBF, NCFM, which would increase and improve ur domain knowledge.
