CFA® Program - CFA® Exam Enrolment Costs

It is the candidates responsibility to register with the CFA Institute for the CFA® exam.

The earlier you enrol the lower the fees are. The CFA Institute will not accept enrolments for the CFA® exam after the final deadline.

Initially when enrolling on the CFA® Program two fees are paid:

  1. CFA® Program Enrolment - This is a one off fee paid to the CFA Institute. Whilst studying in the program no annual membership is paid. Once qualified annual fees are payable to both the CFA Institute and your member society.
  2. CFA® exam Registration - This must be paid for each CFA® exam you register and sit for.

CFA® Level 1 candidates enrolling for the first time must pay both fees. Retakes and candidates progressing to CFA® Level 2 and CFA® Level 3 only need pay the CFA® exam registration fee.
