Hi, i`m from Ukraine and candidate for L1. In our country average wage was 500 $ year ago and it is 200-250$ now, but I think that the cost of exam isn`t so expensive. You may pay earlier so the cost will be approximately 600 $ for exam and 400 for enrollment in the program. If you `ll fail, next time you need to pay only for pass exam. So it is in some ways the barrier. If we will compare with MBA programs where cost is starting from 80 000 $ the CFA program with 1200$ for exam is not a huge payment
