The Financial Advising Accelerator program is a standalone certificate program, whereby a certificate of completion is issued upon successful program completion. The program does not award a professional certification (i.e., a credential that demonstrates the holder's specialized knowledge, skills, and experience). The certificate cannot be applied to the completion of any education required for professional certification.
