FPA's CFP enrolments higher than forecast
Despite economic challenges faced by the financial planning industry, enrolments for the Financial Planning Association’s (FPA's) Certified Financial Planning (CFP) program are 34 per cent higher than predicted.
The FPA has enrolled almost 700 financial planners into its CFP program for 2009.
According to the FPA, there were 383 graduates who successfully completed the program in 2008, while a further 290 students have already enrolled in CFP 5, which is the final assessment module, 16 per cent higher than expected.
The FPA is very keen to promote tertiary-based entry into the CFP program as the number of universities with registered tertiary courses listed as a suitable prerequisite for entry into the program continues to increase, currently at 14, up five since 2006.
