想要提高求職時獲得Offer(及Return Offer)的機會,除了需要有相關工作經驗,進修及考取相關的課程及證書亦非常重要!不過於芸芸眾多資歷認證及課程之中,哪個才是與你最想投身的行業有關係?投行的Front Office如IBD、PB、AM、S&T,Big 4,Consulting等需要甚麼資歷?想知道便要留意以下內容了~

1. Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)

相關行業:投行(特別是Private Bank/Asset Management/Sales & Trading)

Tips

CFA並不容易考,其涵蓋範圍廣,包括Econ、Accounting、Derivative、Professional Ethics及Fintech,換言之,考取CFA Level 1相等於需要讀一個學期書。而CFA共有3個Level,未畢業的同學只可以考Level 1,而Level 2及3則規定要畢業後考!建議同學們可先於畢業前考定Level 1作準備。

2. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) & Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)

相關行業:會計界(不少Big4、IBD、PE、VC及Consulting的人均有此資歷)

Tips

ACCA可於畢業前考,而CPA則需於畢業後考!不過Final Year同學可於Sem 2把握Early Bird時段報名,提早半年考最多兩份Paper。而考試模式方面,ACCA有14份Paper,而CPA只有4份Paper及1個Final Exam。由於前者認受性較低,一般會計系畢業生會選擇優先考CPA,而其他學系的畢業生想要會計師資歷就會考ACCA,因為相對容易,而且每份Paper所考的內容較少,可以慢慢考。

4. Common Professional Exam (CPE)

相關行業:Law、Compliance、Consulting、Banking及Property

Tips

CPE是英國現行法律專業學歷的另類課程,為主修法律的畢業生而設。CPE又被坊間稱為「法律Conversion Course」,濃縮的課程內容等同一個LLB,修畢CPE並完成香港法律的Conversion便有資格申請入讀PCLL(當然不包括生仔,PCLL有多難考相信大家都了解)。很多本科非LLB的同學,畢業後投身Compliance、Consulting、Banking及Property行業,但又想進修法津知識或考慮轉行,都會考慮修讀CPE。

5. International Compliance Association (ICA)

相關行業:Compliance

Tips

ICA是具認受性的Compliance資歷,包括不同專業範圍,如AML、General Compliance、Financial Crime Compliance及Managing Sanction Risks等,未畢業都可以報考。對Compliance有興趣,又或主修法律但想轉做Compliance的同學都可以報考。

報名詳情:

6. Project Mgnt Professional Certification (PMP)

相關行業:IT、金融、政府及公關推廣

Tips

PMP是項目管理的專業資格,是很多IT Consultant、Project Manager及Business Analyst都會考取的資歷。不過項目管理並非專屬IT行業,隨着產品生命週期不斷縮短,收購合併活動頻繁,不少商業活動都變成獨立項目,項目管理人才便愈來愈重要。金融、政府部門,甚至公關推廣都非常渴才。

報名詳情:

  • Project Management Professional Certification (PMP)

  1. Official Website

  2. Application Deadline:The examination is being held throughout the year. There is no regular annual / quarterly intake schedule.

7. Certified Financial Planner/ Associate Financial Planner (CFP/ AFP)

相關行業:Asset Management或保險

Tips

為內地認受性較高的國際證書,由國際金融理財標準委員會頒發。由於中國實行兩級認證制度,需先通過AFP才可以考CFP,比香港保險試IIQE困難,但比CFA容易,很多從事保險或Asset Management的人都會考。
