Becoming a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society shows that you have attained and maintained the most prestigious level of professional achievement. Fellows can demonstrate this to their peers and clients by using the designatory letters FPFS.

Progressing from PFS Associate level membership to Fellow

While Associate level members must have completed the Level 6 Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning qualification (290 CII qualification credits), progression to Fellowship requires a total of 350 credits.

You can achieve this by:

  1. Passing additional CII personal finance qualification units
  2. Recognition of prior learning for non-CII (regulated) qualifications

Alternatively, you can apply for PFS Fellowship membership credits, which is similar to recognition of prior learning but for non-regulated qualifications. The credits are membership credits and do not count towards CII qualifications.
