It has been observed that many candidates have cleared Exam 5 but they are not eligible to opt for CFP Certification as they lack the requisite work experience of 3 years or 5 years, as the case may be. Financial Planning Standards Board India introduces a supervision model that would help candidates develop the professional skills and knowledge required to practise Financial Planning. The supervision model mandates a candidate, “the Supervisee”, to undergo training and guidance under a Financial Planning practitioner, “the Supervisor”, for a period of one year. The exercise shall be monitored and evaluated at specified intervals.
