[rodra333]

Please, anyone on the board can say where to put the candidacy for the 2016 Level III Candidate in the CFA Program on linkedin.
I have read to put it either under certifications or under education.
Thank you.

CFA Program Candidates
If you are a candidate in the CFA Program, you may indicate your status—in the Education section—based on

• The exam level you are currently registered for or the level of the exam you recently sat for (if you haven’t yet received your result):
  • 2014 Level I Candidate in the CFA Program
  • 2015 Level II Candidate in the CFA Program
  • 2015 Level III Candidate in the CFA Program
• Or the level you have completed, e.g., “Passed Level II of the CFA Program”

If you have completed all three levels of the CFA Program, but have not completed the work experience requirement, you may state: “Passed all three levels of the CFA Program and may be awarded the charter upon completion of the required work experience.”
Do not use your candidacy in the Heading of your profile. Do not indicate an “Expected” date.

I have read it, but I also have read it to put it under certifications.
If you put it under education it isnt intuiitive, for example when specfiying school, area….

It’s simple…you have the full charter, put it under certificates.
If you are a candidate, put it under education…leave school and area etc blank so that it just says “2016 Level X candidate etc”…
