Hello.

I am thinking of further studying currently.

CFP (certified financial planner) or MBA ( Master of Business Administration in Finance) or RFP (Registered Financial Planner)

Which one would be the better alternative?

Any advice or suggestion?

Thank You.

thanks for all the informations and suggestions.

For your info, i am an undergraduate who is going to graduate this year. i will be a degree holder during that time. with merely 1 year of working experience (all are in part-time based).
I am keen on job that is more on financial based.

So, i am pondering which one to pick ( CFP or MBA ). i will definitely go for the part time one because i hope to work while studying due to some financial difficulties.

I thought CFP is much more easier to pass than CFA. am i right?

Once again, which one would be the better choice for me ( CFP or MBA in finance )?

Thank You.

thanks everyone.

Tinkerbel had really given me a useful hint; take a part time CFP before MBA.

But questions pop up, Is CFP a piece prestigious certificate? or it is just merely an ordinary/general course?

To reiterate what Wingcross said; CFP is not recognised worldwide. Is that true?

CFA is more superior than CFP in term of reputation, right?


thank you.

Thanks buddies.

@lokgotz

You got the point. it's going to be very tough to take a balance between job and study.
You are right perhaps. i should concerntrate in job in the first place right before pursuing any post study programme.

In between, I think of pursuing a post study programme because i have always thought that the knowledge i own is just not enough, maybe can only barely survive.

I hope to equip myself with more knowledges so that i would have more confidence when dealing with people and situations. Does this make any sense?

Thank You.

How about RFP (Registered Financial Planner) ???

Can someone tell me about RFP??

but it seems like both RFP and CFP have similar syllabus.
i am just wondering what are their differences ?

@tinkerbel

My classes have yet to start, so i will still got some times to think about all these.
anyway, thanks for your concern.
