AFTER RECENTLY completing a comprehensive review of the CFPCM programme, the IFPHK has accredited two more education providers - the School of Continuing and Professional Education at the City University of Hong Kong and the Lingnan Institute of Further Education at Lingnan University.
These schools will accept applications this month for courses beginning in May or June.
This brings to six the number of local universities offering CFP courses, providing wider choice and ensuring the availability of sufficient places.
Accredited education providers may teach all six course modules. While the material covered is basically in line with the IFPHK syllabus, the universities have different styles, faculty strengths and class timetables.
Some encourage students to take an introductory pre-programme while some make it possible to switch to a full degree programme.
To ensure maximum flexibility, individual modules can be taken at different institutions.
Applicants deciding which university to attend should consider location, likely class sizes and the academic diplomas on offer.
