I was aware that after each module that an exam was taken and passed, similar to the process designations awarded by the American College and most other organizations. I think that many people have been told that it is the comprehensive exam which differentiated the ChFC from the CFP. I am sure that the cyberworld is filled with discussions on that matter. Bob Goss, a name I am sure that you remember felt that way as do many holders.<br /><br />The issue is if as a grantor you are saying that the grantees have achieved something then it should be correct. If only some have achieved it then that should be noted.<br /><br />As I said both the American College and the CFPBOS should amend their grandfathering decisionss, IMHO. <br /><br />It is not about having studied and being tested on more recent material, rather everyone meeting the same criteria.Morris Armstrong, EAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040122224749397090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971782.post-21476335487289436682009-10-26T16:00:40.600-04:002009-10-26T16:00:40.600-04:00Morris, Ron Pearson here (ron@beachfas.com).

I took a (I believe) three hour exam after each of the six courses I took. I usually doubled up because I took two courses at once in self study. So, I think I had 18 hours of exams on the CFP courses to complete my exam requirement. When they changed it to a single exam, they just combined all six exams into one; they didn't just start giving exams! Does that change your concern?Ron Pearsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971782.post-74085407982127644172009-10-22T12:33:16.341-04:002009-10-22T12:33:16.341-04:00Some good points and some nitpicking.
