Transcript Review

If you believe you have completed any of the required topic areas (or you hold one of the credentials listed below) you may submit an Application for Transcript Review.

Review the Principal Knowledge Topics against your course syllabi or descriptions to determine if you have completed any of CFP Board’s major personal financial planning areas. Only courses completed at a regionally-accredited U.S. institution are eligible for review.

Review Process

Use the Principal Knowledge Topics list to map out which courses will qualify. CFP Board must find evidence of the topics through your course materials to award credit. All content areas under a topic domain must be evident to receive credit for that domain. Consideration of a topic domain will not be given if any content areas are left blank, but it is not necessary for all domains to be reviewed for credit.

Results of your Transcript Review will be communicated via email within 30 calendar days of receipt of all required application materials. If your application is received fewer than 30 calendar days before the education verification deadline, you will need to sit for a later exam.

Your complete application, non-refundable payment, and supplemental materials should be submitted to education@cfpboard.org or by mail to:
