| Video Discription | Every financial planner knows the CFP is the top designation in the financial advice industry. Actually earning the CFP designation can be a bit confusing though. You need to make sure you check all the boxes along the way during your journey to the CFP letters. But the CFP is a relatively flexible program, so there are many different paths a person could take to earn that prestigious financial planning designation. In this video we are going to cover all the boxes that need to be checked, all the paths an advisor could take to get there, and then at the end we will review the major shortcuts that exist to earning the CFP that I was able to take advantage of, and many other people in the finance industry have taken advantage of as well; stick around because you don’t want to miss those. The decision to become a CFP could start as early as high school, since the college you attend can make a big difference in the amount of time it will take you to earn the CFP letters. You see the first major step to earning the CFP is the education requirement. There are two parts to this education requirement. Earn a 4 year bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, and complete the CFPs board approved coursework. The reason the college you attend can make a big difference here, is because some universities offer finance degrees that the CFP says already count towards the board approved coursework. So rather than getting a 4 year degree from your local university, then being required to spend 1 – 2 more years doing financial planning classes at a CFP approved college, you can knock out both requirements at the same time. Now the college I attended had a highly ranked finance program, but it was not approved by the CFP. So after college, I would have had to take night classes at a college 30 minutes from where I lived for about 3 semesters to even be allowed to sit for the CFP exam. Luckily, I was able to take advantage of that big shortcut that the CFP offers so I didn’t have to do any of this, but we will review those details in a bit. It is important to note that even if your university is NOT approved by the CFP board, you may be eligible to bypass some of the required classes based on the curriculum of the classes you have already taken. This bypassing of some of the requirement can still make a big difference in the amount of time and money you have to spend to become a CFP, so be sure to check if any of your past course work will qualify by submitting your credentials on the CFP website. Once you have satisfied the education requirement, the next step is to take a capstone course. Let me be clear, this is not the final CFP exam, but rather just another step along the way. This capstone requirement will either be satisfied by the regular capstone course, or the capstone alternative which is what you take if you do what I did and skipped the education requirements via the accelerated path. The capstone requirement can be satisfied via in person or online classes. If you go the route where your college or university was already approved by the CFP board, one of the classes you take will be a capstone course so you don’t really need to worry about it. If you had to take additional classes after graduation to meet the education requirement, you will also need to make sure one of those classes is a capstone course. If you take the accelerated path and skip the education requirements completely, AND have already met the experience requirement (6,000 hours, or 4,000 hours of approved apprenticeship) you can take the capstone alternative course, which is administered online by Kaplan. I went the last route, and just to give you an idea, the capstone alternative took me about 2 weeks. You don’t take an exam at the end, but rather you upload a voice recording of your financial planning recommendations on a case study. You can see why I say there are many different paths to becoming a CFP professional. - AJ Please SUBSCRIBE for new videos every week! ▶ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF8oQ_rYiZ4xu5HHagy30Tg Let’s connect: Twitter: https://twitter.com/asrmek LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aj-srmek-cfa%C2%AE-cfp%C2%AE-12a95492/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/StraightTalks TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@straighttalksyt?lang=en Webull: https://act.webull.com/kol-us/share.html?hl=en&inviteCode=Lr5IVIoBkzm8 Contact Email: [email protected] *** The information in this video is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional financial advice.
