Bryant has several Program options. Each is tailored specifically to meet the needs of a different learning style. Call a Program Specialist today at 800-329-4996 to find out which one fits you best.
Complete your Course Work.
All Bryant students have 24/7 access to their CFP® curriculum for 21 months from the day they enroll. 21 Months is more than enough time to complete the entire Program. In fact, our Accelerated Virtual Classroom Program will put you on pace to complete the Full Program in only 10 months.
Prepare for the CFP® Certification Exam with a Review Program.
Much like Core Curriculum Programs, there are several competing Review Programs. Unlike the traditional 4-day crash courses, the BIF Review utilizes the progressive training method and prepares its students for CFP success through an interactive 8-week schedule.
Pass the CFP® Certification Exam.
If you diligently work through steps 1,2 and 3 you will be exceptionally well prepared for the Exam. Have faith in your preparation! We'll see you on the other side as you join the thousands of students that have passed the exam using Bryant's Curriculum.
Meet the Experience and Ethics Requirements.
The Experience Requirement indicates to the public your ability to provide financial planning unsupervised. The Ethics Requirement ensures that CFP® professionals agree to adhere to the high standards of ethics and practice outlined in CFP Board's Standards of Professional Conduct.
Grow your Business and Fast Track your Success.
This one is self explanatory. Once you become a practicing CFP® professional, you will begin to reap significant benefits, including prestige, acknowledgment and higher compensation.
