PostGraduate Diploma in Financial Planning (PGDFP) Preparation

2024

The Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning (PGDFP) will enable graduates to provide financial planning services to a wide range of individual and corporate clients. The qualification is also suitable for a wide range of non-client-facing careers in financial services and elsewhere, e.g. legal advisers, corporate benefits consultants, managers, actuaries, lawyers, and accountants who are interested in personal and corporate financial planning.

Our efficient and effective online study materials and lectures will guide you through all the theory and calculations at the level you will be required to know in your exams. Our method incorporates abundant practical examples in addition to past examination questions and a detailed investigation of the examination guidelines provided by the University. Our high quality, comprehensive notes will help you master all the required material and will navigate you through your prescribed reference work: The South African Financial Planning Handbook.

*All materials will be available for the current tax year*
