CFP® Examination Blueprint

The CFP® Examination Blueprint, effective November 2007, is the direct outcome of the validation of the CFP® Professional Competency Profile, and one of the most important results of Financial Planners Standards Council’s competency-based analysis of the financial planning profession in Canada. The Examination Blueprint sets out the weightings assigned to the examination criteria (the Competency Profile) for testing on the November 2007 and subsequent CFP Examinations. The Blueprint will guide the Panel of Examiners, responsible for setting the CFP Examination, in the development of the certification examination and should guide examination candidates in their preparation for the same.
