CFP® Education Program Courses
CCH and Advocis do not award the
CFP and Certified Financial Planner
designation. The right to use the
marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL
PLANNER®, and
is granted under
licence by FPSC to those persons who
have met its educational standards,
passed the FPSC CERTIFIED FINANCIAL
PLANNER Examination, satisfied a work
experience requirement, and who abide
by the FPSC Code of Ethics.
CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) Education Program,
provided by CCH Canadian Limited and Advocis
Are you considering working toward a professional financial planning designation? As the demand for
financial planning and advice increases, the value of being a CFP® professional also grows. The mark
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER is held by more than 17,000 people in Canada and nearly 100,000
worldwide. Passing the CFP® Examination administered by Financial Planners Standards Council (FPSC)
is a key requirement to obtaining the CFP® designation. FPSC requires that all examination applicants
take an accredited qualifying program, unless they meet their pre-qualifying criteria.
To enable you to qualify to write the CFP® Examination, CCH Canadian Limited in alliance with Advocis
(Financial Advisors Association of Canada) publishes the accredited CFP® Education Program. This current
and complete education program contains 19 modules organized into four courses which match the
knowledge list requirements of the FPSC Competency Profile and Examination Blueprint. A new Fifth
Course has been added to provide case study applications and an examination review and preparation
opportunity. The assessment portion of our program reflects the new requirement that test questions
are tied to key competencies.
For each course there is a test for each module and a course exam. The courses are taken in numerical
order as one builds on the other. Once you have successfully completed this program, you will be fully
prepared to take the comprehensive CFP® Examination administered by FPSC.
You may register in our self-study version of CFP® Education Program and take the courses online
through CCH’s learning website Training Sphere. Or you can take in-class instruction through one of our
many academic partners; these are Canadian post-secondary institutions that offer our CFP qualifying
program as undergraduate, post-graduate, and/or part-time programs. Ontario residents may also
choose an instructor-led online option called OntarioLearn, which combines the benefits of experienced
instruction with the flexibility of online learning.
Whether you choose online or in-class study, you will receive a complete, up-to-date, study text for each
course. Unique to our CFP® qualifying program is the bonus offer of free CCH financial planning software
used by practitioners; both a comprehensive reference library for further learning and a planning software
program are included on CD-ROMs accompanying the texts.
The courses of the CCH/Advocis CFP® qualifying program are the foundation courses for the CLU program
offered by the CLU Institute at Advocis. Each CFP® course taken successfully counts for 30 CE credits.
As a registrant in the CCH and Advocis CFP® Education Program, you have access to the support services
of two industry-leading organizations. For more information, see the course descriptions on the following
pages and/or visit our respective websites. Contact us at CCH for more information or guidance. Contact
Advocis to register in the program.
“The CCH/Advocis course is excellent. The material gives you exactly what you
need to know without extraneous information, saving a great deal of study time.
The material is clear, concise, and easily understood without an instructor. After
completing the CFP exams, I continue to use the textbooks as reference material.
If you commit the time and energy to learning the content, this course gives
you everything you need to be a professional financial planner, and pass the
CFP comprehensive exam.”

Financial Planning Education for Accountants:
A Fast Track to the CFP® Examination
Why we created Financial Planning Education for Accountants: A Fast Track to the CFP® Examination
Your clients require help in managing their personal finances. As their accountant, you’ve earned your clients’
trust and respect. Helping them to manage their retirement and wealth is a natural step forward. By offering
complete personal financial services, you’ll serve their needs better, while enhancing your business practice.
The modular curriculum of our accredited CFP® Education Program enables you to focus on topics that
are least familiar or where you may require an update. This saves you time. Accountants with three years
of related industry experience may qualify to challenge FPSC’s CFP® Examination. If so, you can use this
educational product to fully prepare to earn your CFP® designation. You can also use it simply to add to and
update your financial planning knowledge for everyday use.
Content: There are a total of 19 modules provided in the CCH/Advocis CFP® qualifying program. Ten
modules are strongly recommended for accountants. They include areas of personal financial services
that you may not have studied recently, or at all, or encountered in prior work experience. These topics
were selected by accounting experts and survey respondents. They stated that having this knowledge
would help them to add significant value for their clients. There are also nine optional modules which
present the remaining topics covered in the FPSC CFP® Examination blueprint.
Self-study and Online Self-Testing: In addition to receiving four bound volumes of printed educational
content, you obtain online access to the testing portion of the qualifying program. With two
opportunities to test yourself on each module, you’ll know what to review further and when you are
ready to sit for the CFP® Examination. You may access the tests for a period of one year.
Significant Savings: You can obtain this learning at half of the price of the full registration fees of the
complete qualifying program.
Recommended Modules: The following highly recommended modules are included in printed text and
online testing: M 3 – Legal Fundamentals and Family Law; M 4 – Government Sponsored Benefit Programs;
M 8 – Professional Standards and Financial Industry; M 9 – Risk Management – Fundamentals, Health,
and Property & Casualty; M 10 – Risk Management – Life Insurance and Living Benefits; M 11 – Registered
Pension Plans; M 14 – Retirement Planning; M 16 – Investments – Products; M 17 – Investment Planning;

ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP for the CFP® Education Program
License: CCH Canadian, in conjunction with Advocis, sublicenses our accredited CFP® qualifying
program to post-secondary institutions which offer financial services programs. An agreement with
CCH and Advocis enables such academic programs to utilize the complete five-course CFP® Education
Program; this includes access to current and comprehensive study texts and assessment materials.
FPSC-accredited institutions that administer independent qualifying programs may also wish to
incorporate our customized published course materials into part of their program.
Agreement: For schools that decide to use the CFP® Education Program, a formal agreement is arranged which
describes in detail the delivery of the qualifying program. A favourable academic discount makes the professional
course materials affordable for students. The study texts can be sold directly through the campus bookstore or,
if necessary, arranged through the sponsoring department. Test materials, carefully correlated with the study
texts, are provided for instructors’ use in administering the course evaluations. Academic partners also have the
option of having the course exams prepared on their behalf. We provide detailed presentation slides for each
course. Solutions to additional exercises, problems and cases (in the texts) are provided only to institutions for
use as practice review, or evaluation. Additional test questions are available for student practice. A certificate of
completion is given for students successfully passing the five courses in the program.
Educational Software: Unique to the CCH and Advocis qualifying program is the inclusion of CCH’s
professional-quality financial planning software, which is provided at no additional cost. Educational
versions of FP Solutions™ Advanced and the CCH financial planning libraries (see product descriptions in
this catalogue) enable students to learn about the important productivity tools now used by financial
planners across Canada. Use of the planning software is not a requirement of this program, but it offers
a rare opportunity for students to use the same tools as practitioners, with no additional investment on
their part. Furthermore, for institutions that wish to incorporate software training into their curriculum,
CCH provides educational versions of both our excellent financial planning and tax software products.
A separate Student Guide to FP Solutions is now available for institutions offering a planning software
course. The reference library provides additional information on topics covered in the courses.
Support Services: CCH and Advocis provide knowledgeable customer support for the CFP® Education
Program. In addition, CCH Canadian’s technical support group offers expertise on our electronic products.
And co-operative marketing plans exist to support academic partners’ registration campaigns.
Equivalencies: Depending on proven prior course status, students who have taken qualifying courses
elsewhere may receive equivalency credits. Further information can be obtained from Advocis and CCH.
Student Membership: Students who qualify may apply to Advocis to experience the benefits of
an Advocis membership at no cost or a special student rate.
Continuing Education Credits: Each successfully completed course (60% passing rate) qualifies
students for 30 CE credits, which are important to maintaining Advocis membership.
Decision Support: If you wish to learn more about arranging an academic partnership for the CFP®
Education Program, call or write CCH Canadian and ask for a marketing or account manager. We’ll be
pleased to describe the benefits experienced by the several schools using our program across Canada.
“The Financial Planning Program at Sheridan implements the accredited CFP®
Education Program provided by CCH and Advocis. We appreciate the timely
provision of complete and accurate study texts, as well as the testing and
presentation content CCH has created for instructors. We value the publisher’s
annual updates of their materials. We also offer a unique software applications
course, which utilizes CCH’s practitioner planning software. All of these resources
enable Sheridan’s experienced faculty to give our students a comprehensive
financial planning education. Our association with this program helps us qualify
students for greater success on FPSC’s CFP® Examination, and helps our graduates
