Can I include self-study educational courses on my education history?

[Alexander80]

Hi, can anyone advise me whether I can include my Chartered Financial Analyst qualification on my Express Entry education history? I completed the program by taking 3 levels of exams, but did it completely by way of self study. Trouble is the Express Entry form asks for number of years of study and doesn't seem to cater for self-study courses. I'm keen to add this course because its the only qualification I have that matches with my NOC occupation. Thank you!

Hi,

Did you get any clarification about this?

I have a Bachelors degree and then earned the CFA charter.

Can the CFA charter be included in the application? And would that earn any points?

Thank you.

You can enter it in the personal history section but it won't fetch any points.

Hi, I don't think it would earn any points because as far as I can tell, we can't get an ECA for the CFA. I just wanted to include the CFA in my education history to strengthen the case for my NOC (financial dealer). I don't have more clarification about this I'm afraid.
