| The AFPK certificant should renew his/her AFPK certification every 2 years by fulfilling FPSB Korea’s continuous education requirements and observing the financial planning practice standards. The requirements for renewing one’s AFPK certification include obtaining a specified continuing education credit and taking the Declaration and Agreement for AFPK Certification. |
| Obtaining a specified continuing education credit plays an important role of continuously maintaining the certification of an AFPK certificant as a professional. Since maintaining professional ability in financial planning areas that change continuously is of the utmost importance, FPSB Korea regards continuing education as one of the AFPK certification renewal requirements. By obtaining the latest information in a financial planning area -- which changes rapidly -- through a continuing education requirement, the AFPK certificant benefits greatly. |
| Another requirement for renewal -- the Declaration and Agreement for AFPK Certification -- clarifies whether the AFPK certificant has fallen under an unacceptable level of candidate fitness standards and makes him/her agree to observe the high professional standards in the area of financial planning area. Through this, he/she can maintain a high level of AFPK certification, which regards the consumer’s profit as of top-most importance. |
| The AFPK certification period is 2 years; it should be renewed every 2 years from the maturity of the effective period of certification, and you need to complete a renewal inquiry 1 month before the maturity of the effective period. If you inquire about a renewal after the effective period, you need to obtain a specified continuing education credit as calculated based on the period that elapsed from the maturity of the effective period. In cases in which the elapsed period is less than 1 year, the garnering of an additional credit is deferred. |
| The renewal notification is given twice: 6 months and 3 months before the expiration date. For AFPK certificants who have not applied for renewal within 1 month before the expiration date, a final renewal notice is given. You can check the maturity date of the effective period at FPSB Korea’s website after logging in. |
