About this exam

The Registered Financial Planner (RFP) Capstone Programme is offered by the Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC), an independent body that states it advances the financial planning profession through best practice standards and a Code of Ethics for RFP and Shariah RFP designees. The RFP Capstone Programme sits alongside a Shariah RFP Capstone Programme in MFPC's programmes list, and MFPC describes Module 7 as the final step towards completing your RFP / Shariah RFP journey - positioning the capstone as the closing stage that moves a candidate closer to becoming an RFP or Shariah RFP holder. It is aimed at candidates who have already progressed through the earlier modules of the RFP or Shariah RFP pathway and now need to complete the final module to finish the professional qualification. MFPC's published material lists the programme's administrative scaffolding - admission and registration, entry requirements and application, modular exemption for the RFP programme, class schedule, examination schedule, examination guidelines and procedures, and examination method (physical and virtual) - but does not enumerate the syllabus, question count, duration, pass mark or fee on the pages retrieved. Preparation therefore starts with those official pages: confirm entry requirements and any modular exemption you may hold, register through the 1st MFPC Portal, check the class and examination schedules, and read the examination guidelines and procedures before sitting. Registration for the 2027 RFP and Shariah RFP Capstone Programmes was announced as open.

What you'll study

Common questions

About RFP Module 6 preparation

What exactly is the RFP Capstone Programme and where does Module 7 fit?

MFPC lists the Registered Financial Planner (RFP) Capstone Programme and the Shariah RFP Capstone Programme among its programmes, and describes Module 7 as the final step towards completing your RFP / Shariah RFP journey. Treat the capstone as the closing stage of the qualification, not an entry point.

Who should take it?

Candidates already on the RFP or Shariah RFP pathway who need the final module to complete the professional qualification and move closer to becoming an RFP or Shariah RFP holder. If you are starting from scratch, check entry requirements and application first, since MFPC also documents modular exemption for the RFP programme.

Is registration open now?

MFPC announced that registration for the 2027 RFP and Shariah RFP Capstone Programmes is now open, with registration through the 1st MFPC Portal. Intake timing and closing dates are not stated on the pages retrieved, so confirm current status on the MFPC site before paying.

What is the exam format, and how many questions and how long?

MFPC publishes an examination method page covering physical and virtual examination, plus examination guidelines and procedures and an examination schedule. The number of questions, duration and pass mark are not stated in the material retrieved, so do not rely on second-hand figures - read the official guidelines and schedule.

Can I sit the exam online?

MFPC maintains a page titled Examination Method (Physical & Virtual), which indicates both physical and virtual examination methods exist. Which mode applies to your sitting, and any conditions attached, should be confirmed in the examination guidelines and procedures and on the examination schedule before you register.

What language is the exam in?

MFPC's site lists a circular titled Exam Language Options, but the languages and any effective date are not reproduced in the material retrieved. Check that circular directly on the MFPC site rather than assuming a single language applies to every paper.

What if I fail - can I resit?

MFPC publishes circulars on resit policy, but the ones listed concern the PITA programme, not the RFP Capstone Programme. The RFP Capstone resit terms, including any fees or waiting period, are not stated in the material retrieved. Ask MFPC directly before you plan a retake.

What does it cost?

The programme fee is not stated on the pages retrieved. MFPC directs candidates to register through the 1st MFPC Portal, where programme and examination fees are normally shown at the point of enrolment. Confirm the amount there, and check whether your employer or an HRD Corp claimable route applies.

How should I prepare, and what trips candidates up?

Work in this order: confirm entry requirements and any modular exemption, register on the 1st MFPC Portal, attend according to the class schedule, then read the examination guidelines and procedures and the examination schedule before exam day. The common failure mode is skipping the guidelines and arriving unprepared for the physical or virtual mode.

Does MFPC membership matter while I study?

MFPC runs separate membership and CPD processes, including an annual CPD submission deadline of 31 December 2026 and a membership renewal step by 31 January 2027 for its RM20 voucher offer. Those are membership matters, not capstone exam rules; keep them separate from your programme registration.
