Become a CFP® Pro - Start Your Education Program with Brett Danko

Our program has been updated to reflect the new CFP Board Ethics Standards.

A CFP® professional must hold a bachelor's degree or higher in any discipline from an accredited college or university and must complete financial planning coursework through a CFP Board registered program, like ours, which is provided through Stockton University. 

The Brett Danko Fast Track CFP® Certification Program consists of seven courses:

Classes normally meet for one, four-day period per month for seven months. Upon completion, students are eligible to take the CFP Board Examination given each year in March, July, and November. 

You are welcome to mix and match courses from other programs. For example, if you have completed courses with another curriculum (like The American College of Financial Services), you can simply take the courses you need from the Stockton University program.
