Program details

Overview

This undergraduate certificate in financial planning, offered by extension through an agreement between UQAM and Université TÉLUQ, equips students with the knowledge and competencies needed for financial-advisory and personal financial-planning roles. The 30-credit curriculum develops students' ability to assess clients' financial situations, analyze their needs, and recommend appropriate financial products and services. As a certificate, it is a shorter, focused course of study aimed at professional entry into financial planning rather than a full undergraduate degree. Delivery is entirely at a distance, letting students study without attending a physical campus. The programme suits candidates preparing for a career as a financial planner or advisor. The certificate is awarded as a first-cycle university credential, jointly administered by UQAM and Université TÉLUQ, Quebec's dedicated distance-education university.

Admission Requirements: Admission requires demonstrated proficiency in French and one of three conditions: a diploma of college studies (DEC), or a DEC in administrative techniques, plus at least one year of attested experience in insurance or financial services; being at least 21 years old with appropriate knowledge and at least two years of attested experience in insurance or financial services; or having successfully completed at least 15 university credits at the time of application.
