Postsecondary institutions who are approved to provide core and advanced education are now eligible to apply for FP Canada’s Professional Education Accreditation Program.

With this program, your institution can deliver all the technical and professional education required for certifications granted and overseen by FP Canada as part of your approved undergraduate programs.

Ensure your graduates are job ready

If you offer the Fundamentals and Advanced programs, as well as the Professional Education Program, your students will have the option of meeting all the educational requirements for Certified Financial Planner® certification through a single program. From there, they’ll advance directly to the QAFP® exam or CFP® exam upon graduation.

Exam-ready graduates are in high demand in the financial services industry, and delivering the end-to-end education students are looking for will help set your program apart.

  • Deliver end-to-end education and help your students graduate exam ready.
