Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA)

Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) designationPerhaps you have considered pursuing a financial planning certification to assist your clients with their investments or other planning needs.

Then look no further, and consider the Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) designation!

CPA Training Center provides the QFA training and certification course for those professionals who are interested in earning the prestigious Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) designation.

The Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) designation is ideal for those professionals who provide financial planning and advisory services to their clients and wish to expand their knowledge. The QFA program is the perfect alternative for those professionals who may wish to attain the coveted CFP® designation, but may lack the bachelor’s degree or experience requirements, or the time/money to devote to becoming a CFP® certificant.

For those QFA designees who wish to pursue CFP® Certification later, successful completion of this program allows a QFA designee to exempt out of the first (FP101) of six modules of the Accelerated Certificate In Financial Planning program.
