College of financial planning website has a list of cfp accredited online course providers

I know, but there are so many. Trying to get recs from people that liked the providers they chose.

We'll be clarify your question. What criteria constitute "best" for you?

*Well,

Easy to navigate, high pass rate, adequate prep.

The college of financial planning offers self directed online courses meeting your criteria. I recommend it. Alternatively, some colleagues recommend the CFP extension courses offered by local universities. I'm not familiar with the East Coast uni/college offerings tho.

Been in consumer insights all my work life (10 years) and considering pivoting to product or product marketing manager roles.

I rather would want to take a path with high long term career potential.

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me. My current boss hasn't exactly given me the confidence that would reassure me that I'm leadership material. He constantly questions my design choices, which I'm able to defend. It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
