No, a CFA is not required for financial modeling because the skills are practical and applicable in areas such as investment banking and corporate finance.

  However, the CFA qualification adds credibility, particularly for careers in portfolio management and leadership, and obtaining both is sometimes viewed as a powerful combination that provides a competitive advantage.

 Many individuals begin with financial modeling to gain practical expertise before pursuing the CFA designation to advance their careers

Personally I know one such institute that does a great job. IIM Skills Financial Modelling and Evaluation was something my friend enrolled not too long back and he only had good words to say.

You should of course look into other options as well. But he mentioned h

Absolutely! There are lots of career paths you can choose to study or pursue post your engineering into the finance world.  Financial Modelling and Evaluation is a great way to break into the subject to pursue your goal of a financial Analyst. 

 

There are various ways to approach this. The self learning way by checking courses on Udemy and youtube ( Valuation School is a great channel to go to for it) 

 

But, I always believe a hand of mentorship / guidance makes a big difference when you're tackling a new field altogether.  So do your due diligence with your research to see all the  institutes /online c

The general CFA course duration is 3 years to 4 years, which includes the completion of all 3 levels with a recommended study time of 300 hours per level. It is important for you to note that if you wish to use the CFA Charterholder designation, you should have a minimum of 4,000 hours of relevant work experience, completed in a minimum of 3 years. You can work while studying as well, so no need to worry at all.
