Charter Pending
Passing Level III is a big step. To use the CFA® designation, you must also become a Charterholder member of CFA Institute. Here is how, and how CFA Society Doha can help.
Four steps to your charter
1. Pass the exams
Complete all three levels of the CFA Program.
3. References
Give three professional references, or two if one is a professional member of the society you apply to.
A reference from a society member
If you need a reference from a professional member of CFA Society Doha, ask your mentor or a colleague who is a member. You can also contact the society for guidance.
Celebrate with us
When your charter is awarded, we invite you to the annual Charter Award Ceremony and list you, with your consent, among our new charterholders.
Requirements can change
These steps follow the CFA Institute website as of 4 October 2026. Always check the current rules at CFA Institute before you apply.
