According to CRFA, you must be trained to take the exam. Level 1 13800 yuan (training examination fee), level 2 16800 yuan (training examination fee). CFA does not stipulate that training is necessary, and the three levels add up to no more than 2W. Both exams have test sites in Guangzhou. I recommend you to take CFA, which is recognized worldwide and has a history of more than 50 years. CRFA operates in China. It's only been a few years, and it cost a lot of money, but the gold content is not good.
