Need a degree to get the CFP

[mikehart82]

Ok I'm enrolled at TESU.  Is there anything else I should be doing right now?

Hi, I have my series 65 license, my insurance license, and my Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional designation (FPQP)

So I shouldn't enroll in any classes at TESU yet?  Just start on the ChFC? 

I was thinking about doing this anyway since the ChFC doesn't require a degree and I don't know if this college thing will work out.  

Thanks for your help!  



 
I didn't think when I started the ChFC I would follow through all the way to CFP either because of the degree, but here I am.

Honestly, even if you do the ChFC I would still do the CFP Prep with Danko and sit the CFP. Even if you don't pass (but you WILL) you'll learn SO much! And if you do pass you have 5 years to get your degree plus you will  have earned all the all but 2 UL Finance credits along the way. The UL Finance credits will be easily done through study.com immediately after the CFP Exam. 

How long did it take you to get through the ChFC coursework?
