Board

1. CFA Institute CFA Institute is the global organization responsible for administering the CFA Program, which includes the CFA Level 1 exam and subsequent levels. The CFA Institute provides the curriculum, exam content, and certification process for the CFA designation. It also supports educational and professional development for finance professionals. 2. University Affiliation Program The CFA Institute has a University Affiliation Program, where universities around the world incorporate the CFA curriculum or content that is closely aligned with the CFA Program into their finance-related academic programs. These universities and business schools may use the CFA materials (such as Kaplan Schweser books) as part of their curriculum to help students gain foundational knowledge for the CFA exams. Some universities offer CFA prep programs as part of their finance, economics, and business administration degrees. 3. Education Boards in Different Countries CFA Level 1 is primarily aimed at university graduates or individuals with professional experience in finance. Therefore, education boards related to school systems would typically not be involved. However, students from various educational boards around the world can pursue the CFA program. For example: In India, candidates from education boards like the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) or ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) may pursue an undergraduate degree in finance or economics and later choose to pursue the CFA certification. In the United States, students from state or private high school boards would complete a Bachelor’s degree (often in finance, business, or economics) and then may enroll in the CFA program. 4. Certification Bodies and Accreditation Boards While the CFA Institute is the key organization for the CFA program, national or regional accreditation boards may regulate the academic programs that offer courses or certifications that align with the CFA curriculum. For example: In the United States, universities may be accredited by agencies like the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), which ensures the quality of business and finance programs that prepare students for the CFA exams. In Europe, universities may have accreditation from organizations like EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) or AMBA (Association of MBAs)

Degree/Diploma	CFA as a Professional Certification The CFA designation is a professional certification awarded by the CFA Institute after passing all three levels of the CFA exam (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3). It is not a degree or diploma but a highly regarded credential in the finance and investment industry. CFA Level 1 is the first step in obtaining the CFA Charter. The CFA Charter is often considered equivalent to a master's degree in finance or investment management, though it is not an academic degree. Diploma Programs (Related to CFA) While the CFA is a professional certification, some educational institutions offer diploma programs or certificate programs that are aligned with CFA content. These are often meant to prepare candidates for the CFA exams, but they are separate from the CFA certification itself. For example: Postgraduate Diploma in Finance or Investment Management: Some universities may offer a diploma in finance or investment management that includes CFA-related content. Certificate in Investment Management: Some institutions offer certificate programs that cover topics relevant to the CFA curriculum
