How do I become a Certified Financial Planner?
I could list the details here, but it is easier if you go to the CFP Board website, below. They have a whole section on the qualifications and education. Much depends on how much experience you have. I do know the exam is fairly difficult–it may take a couple of times to pass. However, it’s well worth it. It’s a growing profession. It will be hard work, especially to get started. Also note it’s about a lot more than finances: the really successful financial planners are “people persons”–they genuinely like being with people. Good luck!
