    Would it not be best to ask one of your experienced colleagues or a manager?

    What is FPC? If it's Certificate in Financial Planning then you aren't comparing like for like, as CFA is levels above it.

    The Certificate in Financial Planning is the same level as CFA's IMC Qualifcation.

    CFA takes a minimum of 2.5 years (Level 2 and 3 you can only take once a year) and takes a lot of hard work. Unless you are planning on becoming a fund manager/financial analyst, doing CFA is pointless.
