FPA ..... 2 Credits
AFA ..... 1 Credit
Realising that the FP Industry has been used as a scapegoat and is no longer viable in the short-term?? .... Priceless.
There are some things common sense can't solve, for everything else, there's FASEA.
The one credit that FASEA approved today relates to the historical Mentor version of the AFA designations. Note: the current Kaplan version of the FChFP and ChLP were approved for two subject credits (RPL) by FASEA last year.
Yet more evidence to show that both the FPA’s and more so, the AFA’s educational quality is almost zip.
How many units and $$$ for 1 or 2 credits at AQF 7/8 ? I would be contemplating a request for a partial refund... It will be fascinating to see what the FPA and AFA renewals are like this year..
