However the framework doesn’t seem to match up with what CFAI are saying – an honours bachelor degree sits at Band 10 so CFA Level 3 should be about 11 or 12. Zee TanKeymaster CFA Charterholder 10 Apr 2017 at 8:40 pm Up4:: No, I meant ‘Band 10’ as in the NARIC framework, not the CFA failing band… 🙂 Sophie MaconKeymaster 10 Apr 2017 at 12:11 pm Up3:: Hmm.. that’s interesting findings @diya. I was always under the impression that it is a Master’s equivalent here, but never heard of NARIC until now! SarahParticipant 10 Apr 2017 at 8:39 pm Up3:: @Zee So hitting a band 10 for level 3 is equal to a honours bachelor? But level one was above and beyond my undergraduate degree.
