I’ve just got the following email from FPAM:

“FPAM is pleased to inform its members that Bank Negara has recognized the CFP qualification as a prerequisite for application of the Financial Adviser’s licence.

Prior to this, Modules 1 and 2 of the CFP certification program had been recognized by Bank Negara for the purpose of complying with the requirement that all life insurance agents of more than one year need to attend these modules.

The latest recognition by Bank Negara is a further testament of the standard of the CFP qualification and its credo of the “Highest Standard in Financial Planning”.

Members who wish to apply for the Financial Adviser’s licence can now do using their CFP qualification.

For information on the above matter, please contact the Membership department at 03 20957713.”

If you are looking to start a career in this industry, you can kick start your development in terms of knowledge and skills by joining at least one of the certification body such as the CFP or the RFP.
