Become an FP Canada-Approved Core Curriculum or Advanced Curriculum Provider
As an education provider, you may choose to offer education leading to QAFP® certification, CFP® certification or both. There are separate guidelines and approval processes for each.
*Please note that FP Canada has placed a hold on Core Curriculum and Advanced Curriculum applications from online, national program providers until further notice. Should you have any questions, please contact education@fpcanada.ca.
All educators must demonstrate how their courses align to the FP Canada Standards Council™ Competency Profiles – and the underlying technical knowledge as detailed in the Financial Planning Body of Knowledge by providing course learning outcomes and a sampling of financial planning content and assessment items. This ensures a high focus on the practical nature of the competencies as the key driver of learning outcomes.
