CFA课程的原始设计是一个供考生自修的学习计划,CFA协会依据资产管理实务上常用的专业知识编订出一个考生需要学习的“知识主体” (Candidate Body of Knowledge,简称CBOK),再将其分为三级各十八周的学习计划,CFA协会估计考生须在每个18周的学习计划中,每周须投入10~15小时,即 准备时间须要4~5个月,学习时数合计180~270个小时,应在考前一个月完成前述学习计划,以便最后一个月复习课程内容及做考题,故一级CFA考试整 个学习流程约六个月。
虽然依据CFA协会的设计,CFA是一个自修课程,并未强制要求考生必须参加教育培训课程方可报考,然而对大部份繁忙的考生来说, 参加专业的课程还是公认最有效率的方法。考生在选择课程时,宜特别要注意讲师对CFA考试的了解程度、相关CFA课程教学经验是否充足、过去学员的表现及 编制的讲义是否能有效地整理出课程重点等等。
