I'm a few chapters into the IMC and it shocked me what little understanding I had about the regulatory environment despite being in the final year of an Economics degree. I'm actually enjoying learning these things and it feels relevant and no nonsense. It's great getting your thoughts on this. I wish you and everyone taking this certificate a well deserved qualification at the end of this. 👍

Hahaha, it’s funny because everyone including myself as an Econ Grad expects a level of knowledge the degree doesn’t provide. I guess we understand the basic fundamentals of Economics but to transfer that knowledge into real life is not easy or even applicable. 🤣 Thanks for your kind words and good luck to you too! ☺️
Going through a career change at 32. Studying finance at Uni in October, and currently studying for my IMC now so hoping to have those squared off by September. Also hoping to get into asset management :)

I know people who usually skip the IMC and go straight for the CFA, I know only certain roles like trading etc will require you to have the IMC too ( I can’t remember if it’s just the regulatory exam or both)
Insightful video.... Pls which online learning partner(s) can you recommend. I'm presently doing self-study

Was just asked by my HR if I’d like to do this as I have no prior experience in finance or a degree but surprisingly work in the industry. Do you think it’s possible to complete the imc in less than a year ? I really want to get a CFA asap

Some deem the IMC a pre-req to the CFA, some people also skip the IMC and go straight to the CFA.... It all depends on you really and what career trajectory you see yourself having ... I know a senior trader at my previous firm had to do the IMC unit 1 even though they had the CFA to be fully licensed. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond but let me know what you decided to do :)
Hey 🙂 How did you get on with the IMC in the end? How long did it take you?

Hey my video coming out this week gives all the details about my IMC journey ☺️ - sorry I’ve taken a bit of a break from the career content
can we do cfa and imc both or what should we do first?
@CarewCulture

Great question! Typically, people do the IMC first as it’s seen as a prerequisite requires for the industry and should typically take 1 year. The CFA is a minimum 3 year qualification if you pass everything first time and is usually for people who want to go into something quite specific.
Could you make an update video on how it went
