Online Continuing Education
At one time, a college degree or specialty certification — plus a little hard work – was a guarantee of success and advancement. Today, life-long learning is needed to remain competitive and keep pace with a rapidly changing industry. Online Continuing Education brings continuous learning into your home or office (or anywhere you have an internet connection) so you can enhance your personal knowledge and expand your skill set quickly and easily while saving time and money.
Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
A Certified Financial Planner is a financial professional authorized to use the CFP certification marks that identifies him or her as being actively engaged in providing financial planning services. They must demonstrate academic coverage of more than 100 integrated financial planning topics that cover the tasks and knowledge necessary to perform financial planning topics that cover the tasks and knowledge necessary to perform financial planning without supervision. CFPs are individuals who have met the CFP Board’s education, examination and experience requirements, are committed to high standards of ethical conduct and who complete CFP Board’s biennial certification requirements. NAIFA Illinois will be working with John Wheeler, LUTCF, CFP, to provide CFP classes to its members. Contact the NAIFA Illinois Headquarters for more information at 800-543-9961.
