Timely Credit Reporting
It is FinancialCampus’ responsibility to report CFP course credits earned in a timely manner, which is defined by the CFP Board as within 30 days of course completion. It is your responsibility to ensure that credits are earned far enough in advance of the reporting deadlines to permit reporting to the CFP Board prior to the last date of your reporting period.
CFP® certificants must complete 30 hours of CE each reporting period:
- 2 hours from a CFP Board-approved program on CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility (Code of Ethics) and/or Financial Planning Practice Standards (Practice Standards).
- 28 hours from one or more of the accepted subject topics.
- Each reporting period, two of the required hours must be obtained from a pre-approved program on CFP Board's Code of Ethics and/or Practice Standards.
- The CE requirement is effective immediately upon initial certification. The number of CE hours for newly certified CFP certificants is prorated for the period from initial certification to the end of their certification period.
- Credits must be earned during the current reporting period, which is a two-year period ending the last day of the CFP certificant's renewal month.
- Any credits in excess of the requirement may not be applied to subsequent reporting periods.
- Credits earned for any one program may not be split between two reporting periods.
