Student loan planning and advising

The Solution for Delivering Student Loan Guidance

We are focused on assisting advisors and client borrowers in making the best decisions about their student loans.

The repayment rules have only increased in complexity over the last decade, causing confusion among everyone. One of the primary reasons the CSLP® Program was created was to help financial professionals and their clients get the most up-to-date and accurate information about student loan programs.

Since student debt is one of the largest obligations one might have, we believe it's wise to consult with a financial professional who understands the repayment options available and how to create a customized strategy.

The person you choose should also be a personal finance expert, such as a financial planner (CFP®), CPA, or other FINRA-recognized financial designation.

Over the years, he has consulted with thousands of independent advisory firms and individuals to help solve complex repayment situations. Through his experience and awareness of the growing challenges student loan borrowers face, the need to address the knowledge gaps in the financial advisory community became obvious.

Mr. Hoffman is a Registered Investment Advisor and has been assisting clients with student debt since 2010. He has appeared on PBS Nightly Business Report and been cited in the NY Times as well as other publications as an expert in student loan repayment. Mr. Hoffman was the managing partner of Delta Capital, a commodities trading advisor, and has worked for several hedge funds. Mr. Hoffman received a bachelor’s degree from Humboldt State University and a master’s degree in business from Colorado State University.

History of the CSLP Program

The program is the culmination of more than 25 years of assisting financial planners and student loan borrowers.

Our primary goal is to empower financial professionals and borrowers with the knowledge that integrating student loan repayment into personal financial plans, regardless of size, is a crucial step toward financial stability.

The program's origins date back to 2010, when the basis for the original course concept was evaluated in national training seminars for registered advisor representatives.

In 2016, the CSLA Institute and Board of Standards was formally established with a mission that resonates with all of us-to elevate the level of advice financial professionals provide to the public about student loan repayment.

We have also received approval from the CFP® Board to issue CE Credits for completion of the CSLP® designation.
