Preparing for the CFP exam
The CFP Board, an independent body that grants the CFP credential, requires most individuals to complete a rigorous program of study on financial-planning topics before they can take the certifying examination for the credential.  The CFP Board has approved Catholic University’s seven CFP courses as satisfying this educational requirement. (Those seeking the credential must meet other qualifications in education, experience and ethics. More information on the CFP credential in general can be found at the CFP Board web site.)
