1 YOUR GUIDE TO THE CFP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
2 The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation is the highest designation for financial planners globally. As a CFP professional, you join a growing community of over 5,600 CFP professionals in Australia and 170,000 globally. Your commitment to a world-class professional code and best practice financial planning places you at the forefront of a growing profession. The Financial Planning Association (FPA) is the premium professional association for financial planners in Australia and the only association licensed to deliver and administer the CFP designation.
3 ABOUT THE CFP DESIGNATION The CFP mark represents a symbol of trust and mark of excellence. To your clients, it will provide reassurance that you work to the highest professional and ethical standards. Always putting their interests first. BE RECOGNISED AS A BEST OF BREED FINANCIAL PLANNER The FPA invests heavily in promoting the value of financial advice from a CFP professional. As more and more Australians know where to look for high quality advice, your designation will become your platform for a sustainable financial planning career. FUTURE-PROOF YOUR ADVICE The FPA Code of Professional Practice represents a world-class professional framework and standards that go far higher than those set by regulators. By default, adherance to our Code provides you with the ability to self-regulate and de-risk your advice. The CFP designation is well regarded by consumers and a great way to show them that I am serious about being a professional financial adviser. SHAPE THE FUTURE OF YOUR PROFESSION The FPA is a respected voice with Government and other key stakeholders. As a CFP practitioner member, you will have voting rights and countless channels whereby you can help us shape the future of your profession. This is your time to shine. SECURE YOUR PROFESSIONAL DIVIDEND Your CFP designation will literally open doors. Statistics show that CFP professionals earn $65,000 per annum more than other financial planners.* And if you decide to work abroad, your designation goes with you. CFP certification is recognised in 26 countries.

4 ABOUT THE CFP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM A MODERN DAY PROGRAM FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING The CFP Certification Program is unlike any other. Each and every unit has been designed by some of Australia s most respected and experienced financial planners and academics. The content has been developed and is regularly updated, to ensure it remains relevant to current financial planning practice and the ever changing world of legislation. It will also empower you with modern and thought-provoking strategies to help you deliver leading edge advice to your clients. During the program, you ll be assessed on your competencies, knowledge and capabilities as a professional. The successful completion of the program demonstrates that you have met technical competency and exceptional standards across the Four Es set by the international Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) Ethics, Education, Examination and Experience. PROGRAM STRUCTURE The CFP Certification Program is split across five units. Each unit is designed to advance your existing knowledge and expertise, and ensure you meet the standards of excellence required for the designation. CFP 1: FPA PROFESSIONALISM Students are usually in full-time employment and are busy with personal commitments, therefore we structure the program in a way that provides flexibility and freedom. The annual program intake includes two semesters and a summer semester. We recommend enrolling into one unit per semester, so that you can manage your study time around your existing commitments. Typically, the program takes 2-3 years to complete. CFP 2: APPLIED STRATEGIES 1 CFP 3: APPLIED STRATEGIES 2 CFP 1 - CFP 4 require approximately 10 hours of study per week. The CFP C unit will require a minimum of 10 hours of study per week. Compulsory units Advanced standing can apply CFP 4: INVESTMENT STRATEGIES CFP C: CERTIFICATION ENTRY REQUIREMENTS In order to enrol onto the CFP Certification Program you must have 12 months minimum relevant industry experience or have completed an FPA approved degree.
