Easiest one in the industry would have to be Kaplan. Assignment is quite straight-forward and the exam is multiple choice and open book! Not too pricey either.
Is this the course that Storm financial planners scraped through.
To save you clowning around this is probably the premier Australian School of Financial Planning.
All the skills to separate people from their hard earned are here.

Could be! But I know a lot of large financial institutions use Kaplan for their educational learnings.
The information they provide is all good and easy to read, it's just that the examination process is a little too easy.
I completed DFPs 1-8 with them and passed 1st time for all. Most of the exams passed were either 100% or 95% correct, with the answers word-for-word from the book. So as long as you know where to look and how to read, then you'll be fine with them.

Dezza, so many firms use kaplan nowadays? is it a respectable firm? i just want to make sure i complete my studies with the right firm.
cheers
i see you graduated top of the class! good stuff Garp!
Im doing mine through PS146 Training. Kaplan is pretty popular also. As long as they are a recognised training organisation the have to provide pretty much the same material anyway, so i went for one that was cheapish with no exams, as i have enough uni exams
no exams????
All assesment is done through assignments

Haha. Well, it was easy cause I was dealing with the issues and subjects on a daily basis at work. However, I know a few people who tried to complete DFP 1 with Kaplan (back then Tribeca), who were your regular bank customer service people and they failed. So I guess it just depends on your personal development and understanding. It takes some time to get use to calculating Newstart Allowance, Pensions and redundancies if you're not doing these regularly.
As for costs, I only say it was cheap cause the company paid for everything and received a discount due to association, but if you failed, you would have to pay for the re-sit. I think it's still about $600 a pop for each DFP.
The Financial Services companies that I know use it are quite large, including some of the Big 4 banks, and the larger fund managers.
But in the end, it doesn't really matter where you get it from. In the end, it's still a DFP or Adv DFP which the employers will see.
It's changed since I did it 4 or 5 years ago (with Tribeca).
But the exams were easy. 8 sections with 10 questions in each section approx. You needed to get 80% in each section. The exam was open book and if you failed a section you could go back later ad redo that one individual section.
And we wonder why the investing punters who don't do their own research feel let down by the Financial Planning industry.!!
Is it any more difficult than becoming a PR guru or a real estate or car salesman?
Open book and 80% pass rate!!

The industry is changing though and removal of trailing commissions on FUM will happen sooner than you think....
