You can qualify to take the CFP® exam!

As a graduate school that offers a CFP®-accredited education program, you can qualify to take the CFP® certification examination.

The CFP® certification has been established as a professional qualification, similar to that of certified public accountants and lawyers, and has been introduced in 25 countries and regions around the world (as of March 2021). In Japan, there are approximately 23,095 CFP® certified individuals (as of March 2020).

Granted the right to register and certify AFP qualifications

Once you have completed and passed the "Writing Proposal Tasks" course designated by the Japan Association of Financial Planners, you will be granted the right to register and be certified as an AFP.

The AFP certification is awarded to financial planners who are constantly improving their knowledge and skills through continuing education, which is a requirement for certification renewal.

Can also be used as a continuing education and training institution

AFP and CFP® certified individuals are required to renew their certification every two years to maintain and improve their knowledge and skills, and as a requirement, they must earn the required continuing education credits. Since finance-related courses (with some exceptions) at this graduate school are eligible for the continuing education system, AFPs can earn 7.5 credits and CFP®s can earn 15 credits as continuing education credits.
