Seeking to answer the questions "what are the requirements to become a CFP" or "where can I find CFP exam prep training?" Then you've come to the right place!
Legal Training Center offers CFP exam review courses and training materials for those professionals who wish to challenge the CFP Board Exam and become a CFP® Certificant.
What are the requirements to become a CFP?
Most professionals in the field of financial planning are required to meet educational and experience requirements to become a CFP Certificant. Licensed attorneys (inactive license is acceptable), however, can apply for Challenge Status based upon their professional credentials and exempt the requirement of completing a CFP Board-Registered Education Program.
Attorneys must pass the CFP Certification Examination®; a challenging 10-hour exam divided into three separate sessions. The exam is administered three times per year - generally on the third Friday and Saturday of March, July and November - at about 50 domestic locations. To register, candidates must submit a completed application and check for $595 by the appropriate deadline.
Visit the CFP Board website for a complete guide to CFP® Certification.
