That's correct. There's no such thing is John Anyone, CFA I or Jason Anywho, CFA II, etc.
4 years is the minimum if you are taking the exam, passing it, while working to fulfill your work experience requirement. But you know what? For people with a passion in investments, I think it's worth doing it. When I had to take the exam, I studied literally for more than two and a half months (without working) to pass the test even though my background was in Finance. So, I can tell you that it does need a lot of serious effort.
