Changes to CFP Board Principal Knowledge Topics
CFP® Board Updates
Earlier this year, the CFP Board announced the results of the latest Practice Study Analysis, which among other things, informs the board on necessary updates to the Principals Knowledge Topics. These topics are the base of approved educational provider curriculum, and are the topics tested on the CFP Board Exam.
The March 2022 CFP Board exam will test these latest updates to the topics.
Directly from the CFP Board:
- The major changes to the Principal Knowledge Topics are as follows:
- Topics in the Education Planning Principal category have been incorporated into the General Principles of Financial Planning category.
- A new Principal Knowledge Topic category has been added: Psychology of Financial Planning.
- CFP Board has provided a side-by-side comparison of the updated Principal Knowledge Topics to highlight all the changes. https://www.cfp.net/-/media/files/cfp-board/cfp-certification/2021-practice-analysis/side-by-side-comparison-of-2021-and-2015-principal-knowledge-topics.pdf
For students in any of our CFP® Certification Education programs, rest assured these topics will be live by the end of November, giving ample opportunity for students taking the March 2022 exam to be fully prepared.
