Wake Forest University renews partnership with Dalton Education to offer online CFP® certification education program
February 23, 2023
Wake Forest University and Dalton Education (a CeriFi company), a leading provider of education solutions in financial planning, are launching a renewed collaboration to offer financial planning professionals a career-enhancing CFP® certification education program, which prepares them to pass the CFP® exam in a year or less.
“It’s a pleasure to be working again with Wake Forest University, which is recognized year after year for providing a top-tier education,” said Joseph M. Gillice, President of Dalton Education & COO of CeriFi. “We look forward to continuing our shared dedication to helping professionals in North Carolina and beyond advance in their careers with CFP® certification.”
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ credential is one of the most respected financial professional designations, and those who obtain it tend to see increases in earnings and career satisfaction. The process to earn CFP® certification can be difficult and time-consuming, however, involving an education component and standardized exams. Therefore, choosing an effective education program is crucial for professionals seeking to earn this certification.
“As Wake Forest University continues to expand offerings for working professionals, we are pleased to be partnering with Dalton,” said Kerry Shronts, Executive Director for Executive Education, Wake Forest University. “They are committed to supporting financial planning professionals in achieving the CFP® designation by providing the highest quality learning experience and the needed resources to achieve success.”
The Dalton CFP® certification education program provides comprehensive education resources, plus access to Dalton’s CFP® exam review and Guarantee to Pass™ review – the industry’s only CFP® exam education and review program to offer a full money-back guarantee that students will pass the exam on their first try.
The program is available through two flexible delivery options, Virtual Classroom or Self-Paced, both designed for the convenience of busy professionals:
The Virtual Classroom delivery is a comprehensive live-online, instructor-led program that satisfies the education requirement for a professional to sit for the CFP® exam. The virtual course enables students to attend sessions from a device and location of their choosing. Additionally, students can access recordings of the sessions if they miss a class.
The Self-Paced delivery also satisfies the CFP® certification education requirement and is ideal for students who prefer self-paced learning or who cannot commit to scheduled class meetings. Self-paced learning allows students to successfully complete the program on their own timeline, while still gaining a thorough understanding of the material.
Students who complete the program receive a certificate of completion from Wake Forest University, which has been ranked as one of the top 30 National Universities by U.S. News & World Report for 26 years in a row.
