\u00ab\u00a0J\u2019ai entendu parler pour la premi\u00e8re fois du Programme CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) lors d\u2019une conf\u00e9rence organis\u00e9e par l\u2019OIC Dow Jones Club<\/strong> en septembre 2016. J\u2019ai attendu d\u2019\u00eatre en Master 2 pour devenir candidat \u00e0 l\u2019obtention d\u2019une bourse. J\u2019ai eu la chance d\u2019en recevoir une en avril 2018 pour passer le niveau I<\/strong> le 1er d\u00e9cembre de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e \u00e0 Bruxelles.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lorsque l\u2019on s\u2019inscrit, on a acc\u00e8s au cursus en ligne et on a aussi la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019acheter les livres en version papier, ce que je conseille fortement car \u00e9tudier autant d\u2019heures devant un \u00e9cran n\u2019est pas fort agr\u00e9able.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Il est important de souligner la qualit\u00e9 du Master \u00ab\u00a0Banking & Asset Management\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>, qui couvre environ 70% des sujets abord\u00e9s. Avoir une bonne base en finance est un atout consid\u00e9rable. Il y a 10 sujets \u00e0 maitriser\u00a0: Ethical and Professional Standards, Quantitative Methods, Economics, Financial Reporting and Analysis, Corporate Finance, Portfolio Management, Equity, Fixed Income, Derivatives et Alternative Investments.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tout d\u2019abord, l\u2019examen est compos\u00e9 d\u2019un QCM de 240 questions<\/strong> avec 3 r\u00e9ponses possibles pendant 6 heures. Cela signifie qu\u2019on a environ 90 secondes par question. Il faut savoir rester concentr\u00e9 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin et combattre la fatigue mentale. Il est donc pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de s\u2019y prendre suffisamment \u00e0 temps pour pouvoir comprendre, dig\u00e9rer et assimiler la mati\u00e8re. Il y a \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de QCM disponibles qui permettent de tester ses connaissances et de donner un aper\u00e7u d\u2019o\u00f9 l\u2019on se situe.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ensuite, \u00e9tudier le CFA en parall\u00e8le des \u00e9tudes est compliqu\u00e9, il y a beaucoup de travaux de groupe et il faut donc g\u00e9rer son emploi du temps afin de r\u00e9ussir aussi le CFA ainsi que les \u00e9tudes. Je conseille de travailler quelques heures par jour, de faire un planning de la mati\u00e8re \u00e0 \u00e9tudier et de faire le maximum d\u2019examens blancs possibles.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enfin, avoir r\u00e9ussi le niveau I du Programme CFA n\u2019est que le d\u00e9but d\u2019un long parcours, il reste les niveaux II et III \u00e0 passer afin de compl\u00e9ter la certification mais avoir r\u00e9ussi le premier niveau permet d\u00e9j\u00e0 de se d\u00e9marquer, de se diff\u00e9rencier et c\u2019est exactement ce que les entreprises recherchent de nos jours.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Je souhaite beaucoup de courage et de pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance aux \u00e9tudiants qui vont s\u2019inscrire pour l\u2019examen de juin ou ult\u00e9rieur. C\u2019est une exp\u00e9rience extr\u00eamement enrichissante si on a la motivation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Je suis disponible pour d\u2019\u00e9ventuelles questions via les r\u00e9seaux sociaux ou via l\u2019adresse mail suivante\u00a0: pkwattiez@student.uliege.be<\/a>\u00ab\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
