About the Personal Financial Planning Certificate Program

The Personal Financial Planning Certificate Programs are a series of certificates covering the core areas of PFP, including retirement, estate, risk management/insurance and investment planning, as well as practical application of knowledge. Tax planning and how it relates to each area is incorporated throughout each certificate.

Four of these certificate programs, retirement, investment, estate planning and risk management/insurance planning, is a combination of education and exam that provides the opportunity to enhance your knowledge and demonstrate your competence in that specific core discipline.

The fifth certificate, Practical Applications, requires only education and does not require an exam.
