What’s involved in becoming a CFP^® professional

Over 2,500 test takers across the country registered for the CFP^® Certification Examination last month.

This exam is the culmination of the CFP^® study program, which normally takes one to two years to complete. Candidates need to pass the exam and also fulfill the education, ethics and experience components – including at least 6,000 hours of professional experience related to financial planning or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience – to become newly minted CFPs.^® 

Only 62% of the test takers passed the exam. The exam tests knowledge of several required study areas, such as:

• Professional Conduct and Regulation
• General Principles of Financial Planning
• Education Planning
• Risk Management and Insurance Planning
• Investment Planning
• Tax Planning
• Retirement Savings and Income Planning
• Estate Planning
• Financial plan development (capstone) course
