The Diploma in Financial Planning at TUT prepares students for careers in personal financial advice, investment planning, retirement planning, and risk management — all governed by FSCA regulations in South Africa. Students develop competencies in financial needs analysis, portfolio construction, insurance products, estate planning, and the regulatory framework of the Financial Sector Regulation Act. With South Africa's growing middle class and increasing focus on retirement savings and financial literacy, qualified financial planners are in strong demand. The programme provides a pathway to the CFP designation through the Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa.
