Postponed L1 till June 2011 - Ideas for next 4 months?

2011, planning, situation, completed, 2010

I was planning to appear for Dec 2010. I have completed 2/3 of reading so far (Quant, FSA, FI, Alt Inv, Derivatives, CAPM).
Unfortunately due to family situation, I won't be able to take the exam in Dec 2010 so will sit for Level 1 in June 2011 now. I will start studying again in January 2011.

That leaves me some free time between now and Oct (around 3 and 1/2 months of time).

Can anyone suggest any type of short duration certification that I can achieve in these 4 months. Being so motivated for last 3 months while studying for L1, I don't want to waste the next 4 months before I take two months off in Mid Nov-Dec.

I am IT professional working with one of the big financial institution for 4 years in New York. I am looking to move out of IT and into finance world that is why I am looking to achieve the CFA charter.

I understand that I will be delaying the whole process by 1 year as I could have taken L2 in Jun 2011 but life is not always very fair and it surprises you every now and then.

AF does not allow to change the screen name :-( but I don't want to get bogged down and want to explore while I can.

I had looked at FRM and CAIA certifications but seems like they can not be done in 4 months time frame. I am looking at something which is short and will keep me in touch for CFA L1 in June2011.
A friend suggested to take Series 65 license exam. Any opinions on that?
