The FP Canada Institute's™ mandate is to elevate professional financial planning practice.

FP CANADA INSTITUTE

EDUCATION TO ELEVATE PRACTICE

 

The FP Canada Institute provides education that elevates the practice of financial planning to keep pace with the evolving role of financial planners and evolving needs of Canadians.

In today’s competitive environment, radically changed by technology and automation, financial planners need to understand the factors that drive the decisions clients make. To provide added value to their technical knowledge, financial planners need to develop strong communication, critical thinking and relationship skills. And they need to understand ethical dilemmas, behavioural economics and consumer psychology, all factors that influence the financial planning process.

The Institute helps financial planners gain these essential professional skills so that they stay relevant, effective and at the forefront of their financial planning careers.


Teaching tomorrow’s skills today

3H Financial PlanningTM —planning that is human, holistic, and honest—is about looking at people’s lives as a whole and being able to see clients’ needs through this holistic lens. It is the foundation of the Institute’s approach to education for the profession.
