The Dalton Review® FAQs

The materials were developed by instructors that served on the CFP Board of Examiners (now CFP Board's Council on Examinations); all of them have taken and passed the CFP® exam. We guarantee our students' success by letting them take the review multiple times before the exam and again if they are not successful on the exam. We offer both virtual and traditional classroom learning options. Finally, if you attend our traditional classroom review you also have access to our virtual classroom review and all classes are recorded for playback.
