Q. How long will it take me to get through one module of the program?
A. Every student works at a different pace as comprehension levels vary dramastically. All the CFP Board-Registered programs are under the same time constraints as ours follows the same pattern. The lectures are pre-recorded, but our Student Center feedback is live. This program is not designed to accelerate the student faster through a program, but to withhold the integrity of the classroom structure. Once the video media begins, a student will have 90 days to complete the module. A student cannot start a second module without successfully completing the first.
