Become a CFP® Pro - Start Your Education Program with Brett Danko

Our program has been updated to reflect the new CFP Board Ethics Standards.

A CFP® professional must hold a bachelor's degree or higher in any discipline from an accredited college or university and must complete financial planning coursework through a CFP Board registered program, like ours, which is provided through Stockton University. 

The Brett Danko CFP® Certification Program consists of seven courses:

Upon completion, students are eligible to take the CFP Board Examination given each year in March, July, and November. 

You are welcome to mix and match courses from other programs. For example, if you have completed courses with another curriculum (like The American College of Financial Services), you can simply take the courses you need from the Stockton University program.

LEARN MORE

When you join Danko Education, you're not buying a course — you're joining a community:

  • Real instructors answer real questions.
  • A dedicated support team picks up the phone.
  • Fellow students connect through cohort-based Facebook groups
  • Study communities that stay with you all the way to exam day. 

You will never feel like you're doing this alone.

Fast. Focused. Flexible.

Choose Your Learning Path, or Mix and Match:

With Danko Education’s Executive Track and Fast Track, you can now complete your entire CFP® education without taking time off from work thanks to two fully live, instructor-led learning formats you can mix and match based on your schedule*

Executive Track: 

Eight weeknight or Saturday morning sessions. Steady, flexible, and manageable

Fast Track: 

3.5 days of immersive sessions. Same content, accelerated pace

Both are taught by the same exceptional instructors who guide you every step of the way. This blended structure gives you maximum flexibility, consistent support, and the ability to customize your path while still enjoying a high-quality, live learning experience.

Most students complete the program in about 7 months — roughly half the time of traditional programs.

*You do NOT need to pick between Fast Track or Executive Track. You can attend the classes that best fit your schedule.
