Qualified financial educators form the cornerstone of any personal finance program. Effective educators help learners achieve better outcomes than less-qualified instructors. Programs taught by instructors with strong credentials are more credible and have far greater impact.
Because each person has his or her own pre-existing financial habits, relationship with money, and current financial situation, teaching personal finance is a unique subject that requires specialized expertise to teach effectively. To build the necessary skills and gain credibility, over 4,100 financial education champions have enrolled in the Certified Financial Education Instructor program.
The CFEI coursework meets standards for the highest academic rigor while providing practical financial education knowledge. Graduates possess the skills and teaching techniques that help them motivate, engage, educate, and move participants of all ages to take positive financial action.
Training
The CFEI course requires successful completion of the exam after approximately 40 hours of training (4 Continuing Education Units – CEU) – the training is self-paced and delivered via an online learning center. You may test out of portions of the training.
