Certificate in Financial Planning
Fast Track Program
Overview
FSU’s Fast Track Program offers qualified financial-planning professionals a condensed path toward completing the CFP® educational requirement in less than one year.
Florida State University introduced its Fast Track approach in 2017 for highly driven professionals already working in financial planning or those with a solid understanding of CFP® topics.
Developed in response to demand from the financial-services industry, the program provides the same FSU financial-planning curriculum in a more concentrated schedule designed for experienced or well-prepared students.
