CFA Program eligibility: can you register for Level I?
CFA Institute currently provides three routes into Level I. EduDelphi can explain the route, but CFA Institute makes the final eligibility decision.
You have completed a bachelor’s degree or equivalent programme.
Your selected Level I exam window is no more than 23 months before your expected graduation date. For Level II, an undergraduate must be within 11 months of graduation.
You have accumulated 4,000 hours of professional work experience and/or higher education across at least three sequential years. Level I work experience does not need to be investment-related.
Which CFA syllabus should you study: 2026 or 2027?
Your exam window determines the curriculum. EduDelphi maps your classes, resources and revision plan to that window instead of mixing material from different exam years.
| Key Level I change | November 2026 | 2027 exam windows |
|---|---|---|
| Ethical and Professional Standards | 15-20% | 10-15% |
| Quantitative Methods | 6-9% | 11-14% |
| Corporate topic | Corporate Issuers: 6-9% | Corporate Finance: 6-9% |
| Equity topic | Equity Investments: 11-14% | Equities: 11-14% |
| Derivatives topic | Derivatives: 5-8% | Derivatives and Risk Management: 6-9% |
| Alternative Investments | 7-10% | 6-9% |
| Portfolio topic | Portfolio Management: 8-12% | Portfolio Construction: 8-12% |
Review CFA Institute’s Level I topic weights. Always match materials to the year and exam window you booked.

A clear route from the first class to exam day
Your course brings teaching, independent study, practice and feedback together so that you always know what to do next.
Practical support built around how CFA candidates actually study
The advantage is not one number of classroom hours. It is a connected system of expert teaching, Schweser, faculty access, practice, feedback and exam-window planning.
Clear information before you enrol
Your written enrolment pack explains the level, delivery mode, live hours, resources, support, access and SGD tuition included in your package.
CFA exam format, study time and charter pathway
CFA Institute owns the CFA Program, examinations and charter. EduDelphi provides preparation and learner support.
| Level or requirement | Current CFA Program information | How EduDelphi supports you |
|---|---|---|
| Level I exam | 180 multiple-choice questions across two 135-minute sessions | Concept teaching, topic questions, calculations and timed mocks |
| Level II exam | 22 vignette-based item sets with 88 multiple-choice questions across two 132-minute sessions | Vignette Lab, item-set practice, valuation and mock debriefs |
| Level III exam | Item-set and constructed-response questions across two 132-minute sessions, with a selected pathway | Answer Clinic, command-word practice, written feedback and mocks |
| Study time | CFA Institute recommends about 300 hours per level on average | 100+ live hours plus extensive LMS study and practice |
| Practical Skills Module | A required PSM at each level, usually taking about 10 to 20 hours | Planning guidance so the PSM is not left too late |
| Results | Normally 5 to 7 weeks for Level I and II, and 6 to 8 weeks for Level III | Guidance on progression and the next study step |
| Charter | Pass all exams, complete PSMs, complete 4,000 hours of relevant experience over at least 36 months and become a CFA Institute member | Clear pathway explanation without confusing training with credential requirements |
Always confirm the latest rules for your exam window directly with CFA Institute.
Typical CFA exam windows by level
CFA Institute currently offers different exam cadences by level. EduDelphi builds the preparation plan backwards from your chosen window.
Do not forget the CFA Practical Skills Module
The PSM is not optional course enrichment. CFA Institute requires candidates to complete at least one Practical Skills Module at every level. Each module typically takes about 10 to 20 hours, so it should be part of the study calendar rather than left until results week.
The same PSM cannot be reused at more than one level.
How much time should you plan for each CFA level?
CFA Institute recommends approximately 300 total study hours per level on average. Your actual requirement can be higher or lower depending on your background, level and previous result.
EduDelphi provides 100+ hours of live faculty-led tuition per level. Your LMS also contains many hours of recorded teaching, notes, topic reviews, practice, revision support and mock preparation. Independent reading and practice remain important.
- Build concepts through live teaching and Schweser reading
- Practise every topic before moving to full mocks
- Review errors and weaker topics with faculty support
- Protect final weeks for revision and timed exam practice
Why CFA maps especially well to Singapore’s investment industry
Singapore is a major Asian centre for asset management, private wealth, banking, fintech and regional investment activity. MAS reported in August 2026 that asset management contributed about 15% of financial-sector output and 13% of employment, with assets under management approaching S$7 trillion.
The CFA curriculum is relevant to work involving investment analysis, valuation, research, portfolio management, wealth, risk and analytical finance. The credential does not guarantee a role or salary, but its body of knowledge maps closely to these five Singapore career environments.
