Investments & Wealth Institute® CE credits 

On-Demand attendees: All sessions watched on-demand, regardless of attendance, will be tracked through your online learning center. Evaluations are not required.

 
CFP^® CE credits (NEW–Please read carefully)
Please note that per CFP Board policies, you will need to take a short post-session quiz to earn CFP CE for watching recorded sessions. Instructions to access the CFP CE Quiz Site will be available soon.

PLEASE NOTE: You only need to complete one evaluation form per session to qualify for both Investments & Wealth Institute and CFP continuing education.

Sessions watched on-demand that qualify for CFP CE credit will require a short post-session quiz. Sessions watched in person will not require a quiz. Your attendance and completed evaluation will suffice.

The Institute will report attendance on your behalf to the CFP Board approximately two weeks after the event. The CFP ID field on your Institute account must be complete and accurate for this process to take place.
