　　職位本身的名稱不能直接決定是否被CFA協(xié)會認可，主要是日常工作中涉及到的職務內容必須50%以上和投資決策相關的才是被認可。如果所從事的工作在以下舉例的職位以外，但工作中涉及的職務內容和投資決策相關，亦可提供詳細的工作經驗給CFA協(xié)會，也是被認可的。

　　3.具備4年CFA協(xié)會認可的工作經歷（何為認可的工作經歷，后文會詳細描述）。
　　4.申請并加入所在地分會并成為CFA正式會員。
 
　　CFA提交charter holder member申請后，一般多久能批準?
　　正常你在完成“步驟6+2”之后，申請人將會收到協(xié)會最終的確認郵件。6-8周后Printed Charter會快遞到你手中。
 
　　高頓CFA小編給大家詳細介紹一下“步驟6+2”
　　Step 1
　　Personal Profile Update更新個人信息（難度★）這部分的填寫非常容易，請根據(jù)個人信息如實準確填寫即可。
 
　　需要提請關注兩點：
　　表格中有Display Name Format的選項（Family name, Given name OR Given name, Family name），申請人可以根據(jù)個人喜好和習慣選擇在CFA證書上自己姓名的出場順序申請?zhí)峤缓髤f(xié)會很有可能通過電話或電子郵件的形式與你個人取得聯(lián)系。例如對你提交工作經驗中有不明確的地方就可能通過電話或郵件請你作出進一步的解釋。因此請在申請期間保持通訊暢通并時常查看。
 
　　Step 2
　　Addresses更新通訊地址（難度★）
　　在你成為一名CFA持證人之后，協(xié)會每月都會向你郵寄CFA的雜志和資料，請確保地址信息錄入準確。
 
　　Step3
　　Education 教育背景（難度★★）
　　申請人需要擁有本科學位或大學的學習年限和在投資決策領域的工作時間合計滿4年等同于獲得本科學位。此部分請根據(jù)個人情況如實填寫即可。
 
　　Step4
　　Work Experience 更新工作經歷（難度★★★★）CFA協(xié)會對工作經驗的要求是非常嚴格的。他不在乎你的公司名氣有多大或你個人的title有多高，協(xié)會關注的是你工作的實質。簡單來說如果你所從事的工作是利用經濟的、統(tǒng)計的或財務的數(shù)據(jù)進行投資分析、研究、決策或投資管理，這樣才是CFA協(xié)會認可的工作經歷。
 
　　Step5
　　elect society添加申請人的所在地協(xié)會（難度★）這里的默認選項為學員所在地的分會。
 
　　Step6
　　Reference 提供推薦人信息（難度★★）
　　推薦人的數(shù)量及資質要求：申請人只要找到三名認識并了解你的人做推薦即可，三名人士不需要是CFA的持證人。如果三人中有一人為持證人并且和被推薦人隸屬同一分會的話這時申請人只需兩名推薦人即可。
　　如果三人中有一人持證并且和被推薦人隸屬同一分會的話這時申請人只需兩名推薦人即可(同一分會指的是申請人和推薦人所在同一地區(qū)而非同一國家的分會。
 
　　例：如果申請人在北京，推薦人之一隸屬CFA BEIJING那么申請人只需2個推薦人即可）如果申請人和推薦人都隸屬同一國家CFA CHINA，一個在CFA BEIJING另一個在CFA SHANGHAI的話這時仍然需要三名推薦人做推薦。
　　如下圖在這里只需填寫推薦人的姓名和郵箱信息然后點擊“send email”，協(xié)會會立即將相關確認問題發(fā)送給你選擇的推薦人。
