Many of the College's programs and courses qualify for continuing education credit hours, which are required by organizations such as the CFP Board, state boards of accountancy, individual state insurance departments, and the PACE program. The individual sections of each program, and the program itself, can help meet the firm element of the securities industry’s (and therefore, each company’s) CE requirements. Individual state Boards of accountancy establish the CPE requirements for each individual state. If you are a CPA who will be submitting CPE from taking the Colleges courses, you will need to make sure that the courses meet your respected state board requirements and report them to your state board. Please do not submit credits to NASBA. See details in the Continuing Education Table.
“I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to take their practice to the next level in professionalism and income level. Because of my AWMA® designation, I am now working with higher net worth individuals, which allows me to offer top notch service to fewer clients while substantially increasing my income.“
