How is the Certified Financial Planner different to the Chartered Financial Planner?
Both titles represent the pinnacle of professional qualifications. The Chartered Financial Planner will have passed a number of technical examinations but will not have been tested on their ability to do Financial Planning. The Certified Financial Planner will have reached a high level of technical competence via examinations and then will have been tested on their ability to apply the knowledge as they carry out Financial Planning with clients. This is very much a vocational test of competency.
