cpa - no the others - I dont think so (but am not 100% sure)
cpa - no series - not sure about all of them but I believe you have to be sponsored by a company to take the exam cfa - you must be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program to take the exam
I hear that you need three years of qualifying work experience (must be obtained) before you may take the CFA level 1 exam? Can anyone verify if this is true or not?
i don't believe that's true...you need to be in your final year of undergrad. also for the CFA, the exam is given in december and january so if you take it in december of your senior year, the banks will have already done the interviews in oct-nov so it won't really help.
Also, the CFA is really usefull in the Buy Side....not in Investment banking(sell side) that much. just my thoughts.
also, if still into CFA's...lookinto this

i'm sure they have it for the series and CPA also if u google it.
