The 1st grade written exam course has “Basics” and “Advanced”, and the 2nd and 3rd grade courses have “written exam” and “practical exam.” Explanatory lecture videos, original texts, and explanations are provided for all exams. In addition to preparing original question sets, for the 2nd and 3rd grade courses, we also have mock exams and a handbook with important points to prepare for just before the exam.

In addition, in the Level 2 course, in addition to the “Exam Pass Pack” (includes “Academic Exam Preparation Course”, “Practical Exam Preparation Course”, and “Last Minute Preparation Course”) for both the written exam and the practical exam, Based on the needs of students, we also offer individual courses such as “Academic Exam Preparation Course,” “Practical Exam Preparation Course,” and “Last-Minute Preparation Course.” Students do not have to waste money on content for exams they will not take, and can take the content they need for as long as they want, according to their needs.

When the number of participants exceeded 5,000, Ryotaro Honda, CEO of Square Works, said the following. “FP Camp was started in July last year based on the motto, “Succeed in a short period of time while understanding the essentials without relying on memorization.” Less than a year after the course was launched, more than 5,000 students participated in the course. It is a great honor for everyone to use our service.
Looking at the student data, we see that a wide range of people, including not only working adults who take the exam for career development, but also students, full-time housewives, and
househusbands, take on the FP qualification and pass with an extremely high rate. Masu. I was particularly pleased that many of the participants, with the aim of improving their financial literacy and reskilling, sympathized with FP Camp’s value of “understanding the essence” and sought financial knowledge that they could use for the rest of their lives even after passing the exam. Thank you very much for coming to our school.
If you rely solely on cramming and memorizing learning for the purpose of passing the exam, you may be able to pass the exam, but you will not be able to actually use the knowledge you have learned after the exam, and you will not be able to achieve the original purpose of improving your financial literacy. On the other hand, if you treat the vocabulary and systems you learn on the exam as your own and enjoy learning while understanding the essence, you will not only be able to pass the exam in a short period of time, but also be able to use the knowledge of FP in your life even after the exam. can.
In accordance with the motto of FP Camp, we will continue to work on further expanding the content and services of the 1st grade written exam course, 2nd grade course, and 3rd grade course that are currently being offered. We will also promote the dissemination of knowledge. In addition, recently, an increasing number of companies, including financial institutions and real estate businesses, are promoting their employees to obtain FP qualifications, and we are collaborating with companies aiming to improve the quality of their employees by using FP qualifications. We would like to expand group use as well. ”
