CFP® Board of Standards 

ACA is a sponsor at the CFP® Board of Standards which allows ACA to offer accepted continuing education programs in all subject areas other than Ethics.  ACA offers live in-person programs, live teleconference/webinar programs, and self-study programs.  ACA submits all continuing education credit information directly to the CFP Board on your behalf.  These credits are not subject to audit, which means that no completion certificate is provided.

Every 50 minute session is worth 1 credit hour.  Credit for live programs is based on proof of attendance.  Credit for self-study programs is based on completing the required quiz with a score of at least 70%.    All quizzes must have your signature, CFP® license number and/or the last 4 digits of your social security number.  All questions and answers get submitted to  Joy McShane Oyler.  You will receive an email from the CFP Board after they process your credit, which can take up to 6 weeks. If you do not pass you will be notified by ACA.

NAPFA

NAPFA does not approve sponsors for continuing education or specific continuing education programs.  The decision as to what is eligible for CE credit and the reporting of CE hours is the responsibility of the individual NAPFA member.  Programs that have been accepted by the CFP Board will also qualify for NAPFA, but NAPFA accepts (and requires) CE in subject areas not accepted by the CFP Board.

Note:  Joy is primary for all CE.
