CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification

The University of Delaware's Certificate in Financial Planning is registered with Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. (CFP Board) as an approved education program.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification is the most recognized professional certification for financial planners, demonstrating expertise in the field and adherence to rigorous standards. As a CFP Board-Registered Program, successful completion of the University of Delaware's Certificate in Financial Planning satisfies CFP Board’s education requirement, allowing an individual to sit for the CFP® Certification Examination.

In addition to passing the exam and completing the education requirement, other requirements for certification include working experience, and a bachelor’s degree (in any field) from an accredited college or university. For more information on requirements for this nationally-recognized certification, visit the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc.
