Overview

One of the best ways to show that you are a serious financial planner is to earn your CFP® designation, which requires completion of a certified education program. The Terry College of Business offers one of the best options for meeting the education requirement and preparing for the demands of the CFP® Certification Examination. Terry is registered with the CFP® Board of Standards, Inc., which administers the exam.

Designed for professionals in the brokerage, insurance, accounting, banking, and related industries, the CFP® Traditional Class program format consists of six academic courses, including a Capstone/Case Study. The class meets one night a week from 6:00 to 9:00 pm for 14 months. This is the only live class in the Atlanta area offered by a public institution.

The CFP® Program provided me with the educational foundation needed to not only pass the CFP® Board exam, but also to deliver sound comprehensive financial advice to my wealth management clients.

Gregory B. Binney, CFP®, First Vice President — Client Advisor, Private Wealth Management, SunTrust Bank
