CFA® + CIIA

HI,
I am goign to take CIIA on March. I have already passed CEFA level.
I would like to take CFA® I too, but I am wondering how much time would I have to spend to pass it on December and if that would be a drawback for my CIIA study. I dont really think I need to study for most of the contents, as CEFA has exactly the same structure but without ethics.
So, what would you guys do? Go for CIIA and then CFA® 1 on June 2015, or strike for it on December, CIIA March and CFA® 2 June.
I am 24, working on my first year, so, even if I take the exams I wont have the certificates yet, as I lack of experience.
Any advice?

 

Why would you take the CIIA and the CFA? Isn't the CIIA essentially the "European CFA"?

I wish i could shove my dick so far up your dick that it creates a gaping vagina, because that's who you are. Just tell them that you're a ginormous douche-canoe with a gaping vagina. They'll understand.
 

I took CEFA together with my master, so I already have half CIIA. I only have to study 6 more months and then I will be in possesion of a renamed certification.

However, CFA is overall way more renamed, even in Europe and thats why I want to go for it too.

Basically I think about CIIA on the short term, because CFA means waiting at least 20 more months to be 3/3.
