CFP^® Program

Certified Financial Planner^® (CFP)

Advocis' Certified Financial Planner® (CFP) program is designed to help financial planners achieve their goals. Financial planners learn the fundamentals of building a comprehensive financial plan and are recognized as dedicated professionals with the know-how to assist clients while adhering to high ethical standards.

The CFP^® designation marks financial planners as qualified to practice as professionals. Teaming up with CCH Canadian Ltd., the lead professional publisher of reference material in tax and financial planning, Advocis has redesigned the CFP program to include an online format of program delivery, and has allowed for regular updates on the course content to maintain currency and reliability of information.
