Is cfa a good degree ? Is it so hard ?
A certificate program does not meet the credit and course requirements of a degree. Thus, it is not the same as a college or university degree.
A certificate typically does not meet the credit or course requirements of a degree.
== == A bachelors degree in finance, and a cfa. can one still become a financial analyst with a bachelor's degree in sociology and/or psychology and a cfa? what also is the route to obtaining the cfa qualification? how different is the cfa from acca?
The certificate does not meet the course nor credit requirements of the master's degree.
A certificate is not a degree. It does not meet the course or credit requirements of a degree. Still, there are many types of certificate programs particular to specific areas, some of which are designed to supplement an already existing degree. I just depends on the type of certificate, its scope and purpose.
i have non commerce background and done Master's in social science.can i apply for CFA
The CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) qualification is designed to be the equivalent of the CFA degree (Chartered Financial Analyst).
It is either a certificate or degree program and not a certificate degree. Certificate programs do not meet the credit or course requirements of a degree, which can be an associate, bachelor's, master's. or doctorate degree. Each have credit and course requirements particular to themselves. Certificate programs are much shorter in length and very specific to a field of study, and many are typically designed to supplement and or enhance an already existing degree when taken through a college or university (but not always).

I was a trader and have neither. I do have a Masters degree in Finance. These are both UK centric with CFA being the US equivalent. My personal view is that University degree is the better conduit, although of little relevance when you actually get to the job.
Yes, CFA is a really good degree. Just like the other types of degrees it need time and commitment.
