CFP® Certification Professional Education Program

CFP® Certification Educational Requirement

Individuals desiring to receive the CFP® credential must successfully complete a CFP Board-approved educational program such as the one given by Tallahassee Community College (TCC).

Our education program consists of six courses. Classes normally meet for one four-day period per month for six months. Upon completion of the six educational courses, students are eligible to take the CFP® Board Examination given each year in March, July and November.

Tallahassee Community College's Professional Financial Planning Program is registered with the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards^TM (CFP Board). Ken Zahn, CFP® has developed all his own material for the TCC program. He has been a CFP® for over 20 years and has conducted the Board review courses for nearly a dozen years.

Individuals are welcome to mix and match courses from other programs. For example, if someone has completed courses with another curriculum (like the American College or College of Financial Planning), they can simply take the courses they need from the TCC program.
