CENTENNIAL, CO--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2014) -  Financial planning professionals preparing for FINRA securities examinations stand to gain a major advantage in advancing their careers from a new partnership that pairs two of the financial education industry's leaders, the College for Financial Planning (CFFP) and ExamFX.

ExamFX offers training courses for the Series 63, 6, 7, 65, 66, 24 and 26 examinations. The joint CFFP-ExamFX exam preparation program is offered at a discounted rate for more than 150 financial firms nationwide and includes several other benefits, among them:

• The highest pass rate in the industry: Ninety-three percent of students who scored a 70 percent or higher on their final practice exam passed their exam on the first attempt.
• Money-back guarantee: If a student does not pass their FINRA exam within three days of scoring an 80 percent on the ExamFX Guarantee exam, the College will refund the cost of enrollment.
• State and testing provider-specific content: Students study only what they need to know, with simulations that look and feel like the actual exams.
• Multimedia functionality, including videos and flashcards: Students have access to a variety of tools to accommodate different learning styles, all based on ExamFX's proprietary Adaptive Learning Technology.
• Unmatched support: Representatives are available to provide guidance on industry and state-specific questions six days a week.

The new partnership allows students who enroll in pre-licensing training through CFFP to apply the cost of their exam preparation toward a financial credential such as a CFP^® Certification or a professional designation.

"The College is delighted to offer an additional incentive to financial planning professionals who are already working hard to meet their career goals," CFFP President John Sears said. "We strive to encourage our students to pursue the highest possible level of education so they may serve their clientele with maximum expertise."
