Fostering a global volunteer community is integral to carrying out our shared mission, and we need your help to increase our pool of eligible graders!
We rely on our CFA charterholder volunteers to grade the Level III essay exams. To support our recruitment, we are asking you to help us spread the word to your society members and encourage them to express their interest in becoming a future grader.
Details about upcoming grading sessions are as follows:
- Sessions will be held
- 15 – 21 March 2025
- 13 – 19 September 2025
- Graders must be charterholders, free of pending professional conduct investigations, and members in good standing with CFA Institute.
- Graders are volunteers and are not paid for their service.
- Each grading session is seven days. Graders are required to participate seven hours on the first day, then five hours daily after that.
- The first one-to-two days focus on training and calibration with their teams. These are synchronous events held during the Eastern Time (ET)-based day. After this, brief mandatory daily team meetings will be held at a specific time, but all other grading activities can take place at the grader’s convenience at any time within each 24-hour period.
- Graders earn 10 Professional Learning (PL) credits per grading session
Do you or someone you know meet the criteria and want to get involved? If so, please email Grader Support at graders@cfainstitute.org. Or, we invite you to reach out to your charterholder members using our promotional toolkit.
We value our charterholders and are so appreciative of the time give back to the profession. We simply can’t do this important work without their support and are grateful for any help you can provide with our recruitment efforts.
