The best course is "Chartered FInancial Planner"

The Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation is a certification mark for financial planners conferred by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. To receive authorization to use the designation, the candidate must meet education, examination, experience and ethics requirements, and pay an ongoing certification fee.

To earn a CFP designation, candidates must meet several requirements -- the first of which is the "educational requirement." After March 2007, at minimum, a college education and bachelor's degree is required from an accredited U.S. college or university.

To master "The Education Requirement," students are now required to have at least a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university plus additional course training in the above listed topic areas in order to meet the first requirement to sit for the 10 hour examination.[4] A few exceptions to the education requirement exist for a limited number of professionals, including licensed attorneys (i.e., juris doctor holders who are duly licensed with their state bar association(s)), certified public accountants (CPAs), chartered financial analysts (CFA charterholders), and persons holding doctoral degrees in business, finance, accounting, or economics.

International degrees may be substituted for a U.S. degree if they receive equivalency from a third-party organization.
