I'm interested in becoming a CFP, but I have a few questions. I'm hoping some CFPs out there can guide me. I'm growing weary of the corporate world and am ready for a change in the next 2-3 years. However, the process of becoming a CFP seems almost onerous.
1) Do I have to take the educational program? I'm a mid-career individual who thinks I can pass the exams with just taking a review course...but the way I read the website it says I must take a "board certified" educational program.
2) If the answer to #1 is "too bad, you must take a program", any guidance on where I can obtain a low-cost, effective self-study or online course?
3) I'm considering a transcript review, has anyone on here done this? I have an MBA in Finance, although most of it was related to corporate finance. I wonder the likelyhood of getting granted credit based on my past education.
Thanks,
Dave
