The FPA Residency Program is an intensive, weeklong program that bridges the gap between technical financial planning knowledge and understanding the financial planning process in the real-world.

The strength of this unique program is drawn from experienced CFP™ practitioners who mentor participants throughout the week, providing valuable insight and expertise across the spectrum of client relationships and service.
