“We are the largest provider of CFP® certification education, exam preparation, and continuing education, with more than one-third of all students seeking the CFP® mark coming to us for their required education,” said Dirk Pantone, College president. “Through this new program, it’s our goal to help elevate the wealth management profession with a scientifically designed curriculum that is streamlined for busy professionals.”

Far more than an update, the new CFP® certification education program is the most significant advancement in financial planning education since The College for Financial Planning created the CFP® mark in 1972.

The new CFP® certification education program is tailored to keep busy professionals on track to exam success through key features that include:

  • Pace and performance tracking that shows students what they have accomplished and what they need to complete to stay on track.
  • An activity feed that provides clear, detailed direction to students on each step through the curriculum.
  • Reporting for corporate partners that leverages sophisticated data analytics to identify students who are off course and helping guide them back on track.

The new program applies the Kaplan Way learning principles of “Prepare • Practice • Perform®.” Highlights include:

  • All courses in the program are aligned toward accomplishing the specific learning objectives defined by the CFP Board’s educational standards.
  • The program is built using a straightforward educational approach to comprehensive learning based on a scientific, evidence-based design philosophy.
  • All courses are hosted on Kaplan’s award-winning Learning Management System (LMS) platform following a directed study plan that keeps students on track and on schedule.
  • All instructional videos follow the College’s acclaimed production style and include closed captioning for maximum effectiveness.

The first live online classes for the College’s new CFP® certification education program will begin in November, starting advisors on the path to take the CFP® Certification Examination in November 2020. Self-study options in the new program will be released in January.
