Some time ago, the state's notice about canceling the GCT entrance examination in 20 16 10 made many on-the-job graduate students really panic for a while. Recently, the State Council lightning struck out and announced the notice of canceling the professional qualifications of financial planners and international financial planners (AFP/CFP), which made many students catch an instant cold about getting the qualifications of financial planners or international financial planners through the national Shenshuo examination. Even many students who have already prepared for the exam feel that studying hard at the cold window for more than two years has drawn water with a sieve. These are only one-sided of some people. Bian Xiao told you about the cancellation of the professional qualification notice (AFP/CFP) for financial planners and international financial planners on the 24th with a cup of warm water.

First, let's review what financial planners and international financial planners (AFP /CFP) are.

Financial Planner (Assistant)

financial

Planner) is referred to as AFP for short. AFP qualification certification is the first stage of CFP qualification certification (Certified Financial Planner qualification certification), which is a global standard for excellent financial management. Abide by the important concept of "taking customer interests as behavior orientation". ), is recognized by the United States and the world as an authoritative grade certificate of financial management industry. AFP qualification is widely awarded to professionals in the field of financial management, including financial managers, fund managers, chief financial officers, investment consultants, investment bankers, financial consultants and so on. As a new personal financial management profession, its main responsibility is to provide all-round professional financial management advice to individual customers and tailor reasonable financial management plans for customers.

Back to the topic, on the 24th of this month, the State Council issued the document "Decision on Cancelling and Adjusting a Batch of Administrative Examination and Approval Items", which cancelled 67 professional qualification licenses and recognition items including AFP, CFP and sponsors. Relieved the chaos of too many professional qualification examinations and too many certificates in the industry. From 65438 to 0994, the vocational qualification certificate system was written into the labor law as a system for scientific evaluation of talents. Since then, various vocational qualification certificates have emerged, and various training fever and textual research fever have been born.

At present, the domestic industry is flooded with all kinds of invalid certificates, but the qualification certificates that many people spend time and money to obtain are useless. This reform of the country can effectively ban some useless certificates and make industry certificates more simple and clear. Although the certification of AFP and other qualification certificates has been cancelled, it can only affect all kinds of qualification certificates born in China. The gold content and value of international qualification certificates such as AFP recognized by the international financial community are completely unaffected. At the same time, the cancellation of AFP before, not only the training fee and registration fee are high, but also the certification fee is paid every year, and it will be re-certified in a few years, which is a waste of people and money. After the cancellation, only its gold content and value type will be retained, which is undoubtedly a good thing for AFP holders.

However, the AFP in-service postgraduate courses in universities will not be affected by this reform, because this is a two-level concept. The evaluation and issuance process of AFP qualification certificate is to pass the teaching of qualified universities and the national unified certification examination. According to the framework agreement between China Financial Management Standards Committee and International Financial Management Standards Committee, China Financial Management Standards Committee conducts the qualification certification of financial planners (AFP) and international financial planners (CFP). Not affected by the cancellation of domestic qualification certificates.

Therefore, students who have applied for or intend to apply for in-service graduate students of AFP financial planners can continue to register with confidence. The final qualification certificate of AFP financial planner also has its internationally recognized gold content and value, which is a move to remove the false from the true for the qualification certificate market in China.
