Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA)

Searching for QFA training? Then you've come to the right place!

ABTrainingCenter.com offers QFA training and certification courses for those individuals interested in earning the prestigious Qualified Financial Advisor designation.

The Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) is a highly-regarded designation for those professionals who provide financial planning and advisory services to their clients. The QFA program is ideal for those professionals who may wish to attain the coveted CFP� designation, but may lack the bachelor�s degree or experience requirements, or the time/money to devote to becoming a CFP� certificant.
