The American College of Financial Services

I've done several designations through the school, I don't understand why everyone's complaining about with the annual fee. If you're struggling with that part of it all, you're not staying busy enough, business wise. Most people that have left negative reviews aren't even in the business anymore and likely thought the credentials would solve their lack of productivity/production issues. Planning to do another course as it works with my schedule and is at your own pace. I would recommend them.

Absolute waste of time of money for the certificates; ChFC is worth nothing. Their service is so awful. Save your time and money and just go for other institutions or universities.

Enjoyed meeting some of the important and vested staff members of The American College. They understand as I do the importance of financial advisors to have the tools and the acumen to better assist our valuable financial services clients. It was a great discussion which I am confident will lead to a highly aligned, College, student, client environment!

I enrolled in courses for the ChFC designation course on 11/19/2022. I paid in full up front for all 8 courses. On 1/11/2024 I completed all courses and submitted my application for my designation, which was awarded on 2/1/2024 (I met the experience hours requirement). The courses were awesome. I loved that I could do everything online (even our textbook was virtual) and on my own pace. An instructor led live classes, but if I couldn't join, the class was recorded and all instructors were available to reach via email. The American College gives a variety of resources and coursework that really help you understand the material. Textbook, videos, discussion forums, live classes, summary pdfs, and quizzes all helped me prepare for the in person exams. I had zero hiccups with the process and navigating the website was really easy. At one point I paused classes to take the CFP exam, and the staff was very helpful when I called in. I highly recommend The American College of Financial Services, and will be taking CE classes with them in the future. The annual dues to use your designation is completely reasonable and standard for designations across industries.
