CLU and ChFC are only available through the American College.   

Job wise it depends on what you want to do. CLU, ChFC, CPCU
(property/casualty) are primarily useful in sales or marketing related
jobs. CFP would be more client consulting. For Home Office, LOMA
(FLMI), CEBS or some of the specialty designations are most useful.

{Just don't change jobs too often; I did and now have CLU, FSA, CPCU,
FLMI, CFA, EA and everyone wants continuing education requirements.}
