CFP / PFP designation

Hello all,

I know CFP is alot better than PFP but my question here is: Can I write my PFP or CFP exam without 3 years of financial planning/advising experience, pass them and then apply for designation AFTER I get my 3 years of work experience?

Also, does teller work count towards the 3 years of experience? I have heard from some people that its yes and some says no.....any input would be nice! Thanks!
