Kaplan Financial Education Frequently Asked Questions

We know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to preparing for your licensing exam. That’s why we offer a variety of options to fit your lifestyle and schedule. Compare our study packages for Insurance, Securities, and CFP^® Exam Prep.

Insurance and Securities Licensing 

Kaplan Professional Education is confident that you will pass your Securities or Insurance Licensing Exam after taking our Live Class. However, in the event that you were unsuccessful in passing your exam, or simply wish to take the class again, please contact our Student Support team at 800.824.8742. You may retake the same class, subject to the conditions described herein, within your access period.

All enrollments under the PassProtection™ program are subject to space availability in the requested class. Web-based courses or classes may be substituted for live classes at our discretion. PassProtection™ enrollments are limited to your product’s access period.  If you want to extend your access period for an additional amount of study time, fees may apply and a new PassProtection™ Retake term will begin.

CFP^® Certification
