PROGRAMME / MODULAR EXEMPTION APPLICATION

Since the formation of MFPC in March 2004, we have worked hard to establish a quality financial planning progarmme, namely the Registered Financial Planner (RFP) Programme. RFP is an approved professional qualification by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and Securities Commission (SC) for the application of Financial Adviser License and Capital Markets Services License respectively. To live to up regulatory as well as industry expectation, MFPC has strived to provide quality education to the Malaysians. We have continuously revised and enhanced the RFP programme materials and the programme has also been introduced to local universities and colleges.

In view of the challenging task of the Certification and CPD Board (CCB) to review and evaluate the applications for programme and modular exemption of the RFP Programme, the National Council has approved to impose a fee on Programme Exemption Application and to revise the fee structure for the modular exemption application.

The fees for exemption application with effect from 1 March 2009 are as follows:

a) Programme Validation Application

        i) Processing Fee: RM100 per application (non-refundable)

       ii) Programme Validation Fee: RM1,000 per programme upon approval

b) Modular Exemption Application

        i) Processing Fee: RM100 per application (non-refundable)

       ii) Modular Exemption Fee: RM100 per module upon approval

You are invited to visit our website at www.mfpc.org.my for further information.
