WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • It provides two full days of structured guidance provided by qualified CFP professionals
  • A cost effective way of completing the assessment while still giving valuable support and advice
  • It gives candidates more time to absorb principles and practice and to fine tune their skills ahead of submitting their plan
  • Candidates have more time to spend in reviewing the assessment standards themselves and so know what is required in a successful submission well before they start working on their plan
  • Candidates who attend the guidance days have a improved chance of passing the CFP certification

The Focused Assessment Programme has been broken down into 3 key areas to allow maximum flexibility and choice for candidates to attempt the assessment in the manner most appropriate to their learning needs.  To gain maximum benefit from the programme, IFP recommends that candidates take all three parts of the process.

THE 3 STAGES

This one day workshop covers the core skills required for a professional Financial Planner to satisfactorily attempt the CFP certification process. It is essential for less experienced planners, although it is a useful way of revisiting the key elements of Financial Planning for all candidates attempting the CFP certification. READ MORE...
