The FPA Competency Model™ assessments are self-guided tools designed to support your professional development by helping you reflect on your current knowledge, skills, and behaviors. These assessments are not proctored, graded, or intended to serve as a certification, designation, or credential.

Results are for personal and educational use only and do not imply any verified level of competence or endorsement by the Financial Planning Association® or any third-party certifying body. Completion of an assessment does not confer any professional status or qualification.

We encourage members to use the results as a starting point for continued growth and learning, and to revisit assessments regularly as part of their development journey.
