Fellowship

To become a Fellow of the Institute of Financial Planning (FIFP) is one of the most prestigious titles in the Financial Planning World. To reach this level requires successful completion of 12 hours of rigorous Financial Planning examinations. The rewards however are worth the effort as once successful; you join an elite group of the leading Financial Planners in the UK.

The Fellowship represents the pinnacle of many planners’ careers in Financial Planning and is the ultimate test in Financial Planning skills under examination conditions. Like the CFP certification, the testing is on the application and the competence of the individual planner.

Being part of the Fellowship allows individuals to contribute further to the development of new planners through mentoring, other initiatives and contributions from the Fellows’ conferences and meetings.

Training aids and Preparation days

The IFP offer Fellowship candidates the opportunitiy to attend Preparation days, which will help update candidate's knowledge and understanding of both the technical knowledge required, along with the level of application for the exam.

In addition, we offer specialist reading material that candidates can purchase about 'time value of money calculations,' a topic regularly explored in the Fellowship exam and a subject that generally has a limited amount of information available  in the market.

Upon a successful pass of both the examination papers you will be eligible to use the designation ‘FIFP’ (IFP membership requirements apply). If you are working your way towards Associateship or Fellowship of the PFS, becoming an FIFP will entitle you to 30 credits towards this.
