SHRM® Recertification Credits for CFEI®

The Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI®) course from the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) is recognized by SHRM® to offer Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® recertification activities.

HR professionals seeking to expand their expertise in financial education and financial wellness can now earn SHRM® recertification credits while completing the Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI®) course. This recognition allows SHRM® credential holders to apply the PDCs earned through the CFEI® program toward their SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® recertification requirements. It provides a valuable opportunity to build specialized knowledge in delivering effective financial wellness programs while simultaneously meeting SHRM’s professional development standards.

Benefits of the CFEI® Course for HR Professionals

By completing the CFEI® course, HR professionals gain practical, applicable skills in financial education program design and delivery while earning credits that directly support the maintenance of their SHRM® credentials. This dual benefit makes the CFEI® program a strategic choice for HR leaders who want to strengthen organizational financial wellness initiatives and stay current with their SHRM® certification requirements at the same time.

The CFEI® course is structured to align with SHRM’s emphasis on high-quality, relevant professional development. Participants learn how to design, deliver, and evaluate financial education programs that support employee well-being — a key priority for many forward-thinking organizations. These skills complement the broader competencies required for SHRM-CP® and SHRM-SCP® credential holders.
