CFA Exam Application Form

The CFA exam is conducted at 400 locations globally. Candidates can follow the steps mentioned below to know how to choose the CFA test centre location according to their preference:

1. Register for the CFA exam
2. Schedule the exam appointment
3. View the test centre options along with available seating
4. Choose your preferred test centre location as per the planned CBT test centre locations
5. Once the location is confirmed, keep checking daily for new appointments that could be added.

Candidates should note the appointments must be scheduled by the deadline (typically 60 days before the start of the exam window). If the candidate does not see available appointments in their desired exam location, they can continue to check back through the scheduling function for availability to be added in the coming days. Appointments are based on a first-come, first-served basis.

No, the CFA application form can only be filled online on the official website CFA Institute. There is no option to submit the CFA form in offline mode. Candidates will have to create an account on CFA website once the registrations begin and fill the CFA registration form through that candidate account. Candidates must also note that no other website hosts the CFA application form other than the official website of CFA Institute. The CFA registration fee can be paid online through Credit cards, such as American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay, or Visa or offline through wire transfer, ACH, check money order, or postal order. Receipt of payment of the fees will be emailed to the candidates.

Candidates have to simply follow the instructions to pay the fee. Candidates must note that fee payment is mandatory for CFA form filling. Until the fee is paid successfully, the form will not be accepted. Thus, candidates must check the fee payment acknowledgement slip after making the payment.
