How is online different from in-class? Expand This is perhaps the most important consideration to take into account when deciding whether to enroll in an in-class program versus online. If you have not taken an online class before, please know that it is very different from an in-class program. The key difference with online is that class starts when you say it does. This means that a certain amount of self-discipline is required to succeed in an online environment. There will be no one to tell you when you have to go to class or when to study. Does this program include a prep/cram/review course? Expand No. This program satisfies the educational requirement of CFP® certification. As an educational provider, our goal is to focus solely on providing students with the best educational program possible. Who developed the coursework? Expand This program is a joint effort by North Carolina State University’s Office of Professional Development and Greene Consulting Associates, a leader in consulting and training for the financial services industry. What happens if I don’t finish in the 21-month timeframe? Expand Our goal is that every student completes the program, but we realize sometimes life intervenes and throws your plans off track.

You can purchase 3 additional months for $300, 9 additional months for $450, or 21 additional months for $900.
