What to watch for

A seven-course education package is not CFP certification. The Board separately requires the bachelor’s degree, exam, qualifying experience and ethics review.

The product is titled self-paced/self-study, while its structured delivery field says Virtual Classroom. Confirm format, access and included services directly; do not substitute a separate Core/Premium review bundle or personal-growth/audit product.
