CFP is a good program but if you want to make a big future do the International CFA.

You need not be an expert in math but anyone who has elemetary knowledge (Class 10) can handle the math at CFA/CFP.

Try looking for the Int. CFA course. It does have alot of statistics revolving around Probabilities, Sampling, Correlation SD etc but it is all manageable.

Thank you sir and what do you think about Indian CFA, CFP, CIIA, CMT and the other courses i listed above?

Also do these courses have a market value independently or are they good only along with MBA?

They have negligible independent value.
