CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE)

You can earn a maximum of 2 hours of CE Credit.


How do I earn CE credit for the sessions I attend at Gathering?
FPA applies for acceptance from the CFP Board and reports continuing education to the CFP Board on behalf of all conference attendees. CFP Board has final authority on the acceptance of eligible sessions.

At the end of the qualifying session you will need to complete the session evaluation found in the FPA NexGen Gathering mobile app in order to receive credit.

Who do you submit CE to on my behalf and how long does it take?

FPA will automatically report credit to CFP Board within three weeks of the conference. Please be certain FPA has your CFP Board ID by logging into your FPA account and checking your profile. If you hold additional designations, you will need to self-report credit to the appropriate association or board.  

Does CE qualify for other designations other than the CFP® designation? If you hold other designations, you will need to self-report credit to the other associations or boards, including the Society of Financial Service Professionals (SFSP), Professional Achievement in Continuing Education (PACE), Investments and Wealth Institute (CIMA) and American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). Each agency, board or organization has the final authority on the acceptance of credit.
