| Exam area | Current role |
|---|---|
| ChFC | Finance Prep planning-practice page for broad financial-planning study. |
| RICP | Finance Prep planning-practice page for retirement-income specialization. |
| Area | What to remember |
|---|---|
| Program vs exam page | ChFC and RICP are designation/program paths, not the same kind of standalone exam page as CFP or Series licensing exams. |
| Planning overlap | Compare with CFP Board and Series 65 if your actual need is a board certification or adviser-law registration path. |
