CFA course (USA)

All I can say is CFA is an expensive course.If you are going to be in the United States for a while then you should pursue it.If Iam not mistaken you need to apply for a membership or the local state chapter(I dont recall exactly the terms used) after completing all levels of the course and I have heard from folks on various groups who have completed the same they have had issues getting the same when in India.So would request to do a through groundwork before you enroll for the same.I had done the groundwork on the same a few years back and there are too many issues when you are in India(although the rules may have changed in the last few years).You have to understand these courses are really for the people living in the USA.I know there are ads that pop up stating how enterprising the same can be but the ground reality is quite different.Remember each test will cost you anywhere between 500 to 700 USD plus enrollment.

Anyways here is a link :

Please do thorough groundwork before enrolling in the same.Try getting in touch with those who have completed the course before enrolling.

Hope this helps.

I second Harri, CFA is not a piece of cake. I have seen a lot of CA rankers take the level 2 multiple times. The course has statistics in its curriculum which can be a bête noire for a lot of commerce students. If you have passion for number crunching and willing to spend some good 3-4 years on a course which is based on it, go for CFA. But remember, CFA will be of no use if you are not intending to step into say something like Investment Banking, Portfolio Management, Wealth Management etc.
