There are four parts to the initial CFP certification; education, examination, experience and ethics. A CFP candidate will need to put in up to 1,000 hours to complete the required coursework and the exam. The CFP applicant must have a minimum education level of a bachelor\u2019s degree and coursework in financial planning. The ethics component requires the applicant to meet the Fitness Standards for Candidates and Registrants and promise to follow the Rules of Conduct which put the clients\u2019 interests first.<\/p>\n<p><b>Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor (CPFA&trade;)<br \/><\/b><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">A Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor (CPFA&trade;) is a financial professional that demonstrates expertise and experience working with retirement plans. During the CPFA&trade; certification, candidates spend around two months learning about fiduciary services for retirement plans. The CPFA&trade; exam covers an array of topics including fiduciary roles and responsibilities, fiduciary oversight, plan investment management, and plan management. After a candidate passes the CPFA&trade; exam, they will receive their CPFA&trade; designation. But, to maintain the designation, every CPFA&trade; must complete the continuing education requirements.
