I realize that this thread is over 2 yrs old... but was wondering if you did attain your CFP again...? This thread and your comments got me thinking, as I too held the CFP from back in 1989 for about 10 yrs then decided it would be unlikely for me to return to the financial biz again... Well unlikely hit about 4 yrs ago... so we just never know for sure, do we...?
While I hadn't even given the CFP two thoughts [or little more] since I have returned to insurance, your thread and question gave me pause to think of this. So apparently even though I voluntarily surrendered the designation over 10 yrs ago, apparently I would only need to submit and application and sit for the exam again...? Amazing. While I wouldn't relish the idea of doing this, I might think about it since I wouldn't have to take the segmented course [5 or 6 parts] and the exam for each part which was an absolute deal breaker for me. But being able to brush up on fundamentals and sit for the final exam is another story. I guess I'd have to think if it would do anything for me once again having the CFP designation...? Probably not, but nice to know that it is not as impossible as I once thought.
So to the OP, did you end up following thru and getting your CFP designation again...? If so, how was the prep class and sitting for the final exam...? Would love to know if you are still about and active on the forum. Thx. SN
