A Note for Our Financial Planning Students
As of April 30, 2025, our CFP® and QAFP™ certification courses are no longer available for purchase. In collaboration with FP Canada, we’re transitioning away from offering these programs — but if you’re currently enrolled, you can still complete your course with us through August 29, 2025.
You may also have the option to continue your learning directly with FP Canada — and we’re here to help you explore what path makes the most sense for you.
Visit our Changes to Our Financial Planner Certification Courses page for full details, including how to request your transcript or understand your transfer options.
This change does not affect our CFP® and QAFP™ Exam Prep courses, which remain available and fully supported.
