EFFP Polska is an independent association working to raise the standards of the financial advisory profession by certifying professionals in line with European guidelines, thereby increasing client trust and ensuring regulatory compliance. It is engaged in certification, training and the promotion of ethical advisory services, offering credentials such as €FG®, EFC® and EFP®, which confirm advisers’ knowledge and skills in preparing and monitoring financial plans for clients.
The accreditation granted to the University of Lodz confirms the high quality of education and the programme’s compliance with European standards in financial advisory and personal financial planning. Thanks to this cooperation, the University of Lodz has become another academic centre in Poland offering its students the opportunity to obtain qualifications valued on the labour market already during their studies. Alongside their degree, and after passing the examination, students will receive the EFG certificate, highly regarded in the financial sector.
The agreement marks another step towards strengthening the practical dimension of education – closely aligned with market realities and employers’ expectations.
The meeting was also attended by dr hab. Dagmara Hajdys, Associate Professor at the University of Lodz, coordinator of cooperation between the University of Lodz and EFFP Polska.
