二、Membership: New Applicants(新會員申請問題)
 
1、I am a candidate in the CFA Program. Am I also a member of CFA Institute? (我已經(jīng)是Candidate,那我是member嗎？)


回答：No. The CFA Institute membership process is separate from enrollment for the CFA Program. 非也，會員和報名考試是分離的。
 
2、How can I apply for CFA Institute membership? (我怎樣申請CFA協(xié)會會員？)


回答：Find more membership information on the membership page. (去membership page看看就知道了，注意點擊綠色字部分進入鏈接)
 
3、I do not currently have 48 months of work experience. Can I still become a member of CFA Institute? (我現(xiàn)在沒有4年的工作經(jīng)驗，能成為會員嗎？)


回答：Yes. If you do not have the necessary work experience for regular membership, you will be recommended for affiliate membership. (可以的。如果你沒有必要的工作經(jīng)驗成為常規(guī)會員，你可以被推薦為affiliate membership)
 
4、What is the difference between affiliate and regular membership? (affiliate membership和regular membership有啥區(qū)別？)


回答：The only difference in benefits between regular and affiliate membership is that only regular members are allowed to vote on CFA Institute proxies. Being a regular member is a requirement for the eventual award of the CFA charter. (只有regular member才有資格拿CFA證書)
 
5、How long will the membership application process take? (會員申請過程要多長？)


回答：Processing may take up to 8-10 weeks. Please view the schedule (PDF) for details. (8-10周，可以點開綠體字看詳細(xì)日程安排)
