Edmonton (AB), June 8, 2021
BCC and Sun Life are pleased to announce a new collaboration to provide exclusive online Qualified Associate Financial PlannerTM (QAFP) training and Certified Financial Planner® (CFP) training for Sun Life advisors. The CFP designation is the most widely recognized financial planning designation in Canada. It demonstrates to Canadians that the professional advisor they are working with is committed to providing holistic financial planning advice.
“We are passionate about the quality education we provide at BCC and believe this collaboration paves the way for more advisors to achieve their CFP designation, and further help their clients meet their financial and life goals.” Said Tiffany Linke Boyko, President of We Know Training.
Sun Life was looking for an FP Canada approved CFP Program provider that could effectively and efficiently prepare their advisors to achieve their CFP certification. With 4,000 advisors working in more than 1,200 communities across Canada, BCC’s all-in-one online platform provides a solution where learning schedules, exams, and other assets can be managed in one place and can be accessed simply by logging in to BCC’s website.
“We are pleased to be able to work with Business Career College as an education provider given their exceptional track record with CFP candidates”, said Denise McEachern, AVP Estate and Financial Planning Services at Sun Life. “We’re always looking for ways to improve the support provided to Sun Life advisors to further their education, especially in the area of financial planning and holistic client-focused advice. At Sun Life, our Purpose is to help our clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives – our advisors play a key role in helping us deliver on that.”
To further help advisors in their journey to certification, BCC’s live instruction Exam Preparation courses for both CFP and Qualified Associate Financial Planner™ (QAFP) are available. These 3-day courses give Sun Life advisors the tools they need to confidently write each exam. BCC’s internal research shows that the pass rate for students who take the Exam Preparation courses is about 10% higher than the national average. If advisors require additional guidance or help while they are taking the program, BCC has a student advisor on staff that students can contact.
