Our graduates are recognized as meeting the highest standards and NFEC Certifications are the only financial educator professional development programs offered by an Accredited Provider.

Additionally, programs can be customized to meet the needs of specific corporate training events.
Certified Financial Education Instructor® (CFEI®)
The CFEI® program helps individuals acquire the expertise, credibility, and self-assurance they need to teach money management lessons effectively. Graduation from the NFEC’s financial literacy certification program demonstrates that you are qualified to teach the subject matter and increases your credibility as a financial education instructor.
With over 6,000 enrollees to date and the only established national standards for personal finance instructors, this is the leading financial educator certification in the industry. Those who earn the CFEI® financial literacy certification report that they experience greater enjoyment in teaching and achieve better results among the audiences who attend their presentations.
Accredited Personal Finance Instructor℠ (APFI℠)
Graduates of the APFI℠ course complete advanced training that is focused on creating and deploying a financial education program, analyzing data from financial education program delivery, and leveraging the results to build a program positioned to scale.
Designing and implementing a financial wellness program that creates measurable increases in participants’ financial capabilities while also supporting organizational objectives takes expertise. The APFI℠ program was developed to help you gain that expertise and highlight your competencies.
Custom Professional Development Training for Organizations
The NFEC customizes professional development training to meet the time constraints and learning objectives of team members. Past clients have received custom training to enhance team members’ personal finance topic knowledge, training specific to compliance needs, and instruction in explaining personal finance to clients.
Custom programming starts with a discovery call to understand your objectives and coursework is built around your outcome goals. Training can be accredited, where learners earn CEUs; or non-accredited.

As an IACET Accredited Provider, the NFEC offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard.
