Dr Satinder Bhatia, Director, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), emphasised, “At IIFT, we believe in providing our students with a holistic education that not only enriches their knowledge base but also empowers them with practical skills relevant to today's dynamic financial landscape.”

Additionally, FPSB India intends to recognise the short-term courses offered by IIFT as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) resources, focusing on topics such as leadership and executive development, will enhance the skill set of CFP professionals, further enriching their professional development journey.

The collaboration between FPSB India and IIFT is poised to set new benchmarks in the field of financial education and certification, empowering individuals to pursue rewarding careers as Certified Financial Planners while upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
