Financial Advisor Magazine is reporting today that the CFP® Certification requirements are going to “get tougher.” I read through the brief article but I didn’t get the sense that the obtaining and maintaining the certification is necessarily going to become more difficult.
From the article, Dr. Ivan C. Roten, CFP®, director of the Financial Planning Center at Appalachian State University had this to say:
Since education is one of the four cornerstones of the certification process, we intend to provide an unshakeable foundation for CFP certificants to apply their financial planning knowledge most effectively to their clients’ ever-changing financial situations.
