Why apply for our PGDip Financial Planning?

Stellenbosch Business School’s PGDip Financial Planning is an investment in your career path as it allows you to establish yourself as an expert in the financial services industry. 

• Professionalise your service offering: Consumers and clients are increasingly insisting on high-quality financial advice from advisors with the required qualifications, professional status and membership of a recognised professional body. Our Postgraduate Diploma Financial Planning can provide you with the ideal starting point.
• Start your journey to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®: This PGDip FinPlan is a sought-after qualification that culminates in the internationally recognised CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) professional designation – the global benchmark for professional financial advice. Once you have passed this PGDip, you become eligible to apply for the FPI’s Capstone Course (pathway to become a CFP®). 
• Study at an FPI-accredited education provider: Doing this PGDip at the Business School – an FPI-accredited education provider – comes with advantages like high-level engagement with students and excellent online resources.
• Gain access to an MBA: The PGDip is presented at NQF Level 8, the same level as an Honours degree. This means it can give you access to Stellenbosch Business School’s MBA.
• Study while you work: This one-year programme is offered in the convenient blended learning format, allowing you to study while you work. You can choose between on-campus sessions (with in-class experience) or blended learning (using an internet-linked laptop from anywhere in the world).
