Work experience guidance

If it was full-time, and if you can present a good case that it contributes towards investment decisions, then it counts.

That’s great news christine. Thanks for the help…just to clarify, the work experience was part of the bachelor course. It was called an industry placement and it was compulsory to complete it in order to graduate. However, it was paid and full-time and I could argue that it contributed towards investment decisions.

Yeah that sounds fine to me, even if it’s an industry placement.

@chief1988‌ The definition seems quite loose. Personally I’ve been working as a whole of market financial advisor for the past few years and was a corporate account manager for a couple of years before that. This seems to have been counted towards the work experience required by CFAI. As long as it involves being paid full-time, decision making and some form of financial exposure, the CFAI have been willing to accept it (in my case anyway, I cannot empirically say this is the case for all applicants).
