it depends on your target market. HNW go for cfp, otherwise letters mean nothing.

Bang out the awma real quick. It’s like a mini cfp. Will build knowledge real quick and give u some letters. I would t do cfp etc until u are further along.

like

CFP, CFA, other retirement readiness certifications, brokerage licenses, etc.

I stand partially corrected.

CFP is great place to start.

I've known 3 people who tried to do cfp while staying at $0. none of them got their cfp done because they washed out.
I would build book until it pays the basics first... you can't eat a cfp certification.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
