CFA for ER

Can it compensate for some work gaps? I'm a master's student in Europe and I'm hoping to get into London ER. I don't have much work experience, and my school isn't an Oxford/Cambridge type, but it's still a target. I have passed 2 level of CFA and well on track to pass the 3rd. I couldn't get work experience because of issues with conscription clearance (am from Greece). 

Can CFA help fill in this gap?
