      I’d like someone from the UK to weigh in on this as I have no idea what the comparison statement is trying to tell me.

      So after passing level III it is like a masters according to the UK?
      Well that is good enough for me.

        It’s comparable to a masters. 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.

          No, I meant ‘Band 10’ as in the NARIC framework, not the CFA failing band… 🙂

          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!

          @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.
