New web-based service offers 60 courses accredited for both CFP and state
insurance CE nationwide
WebCE, a nationwide provider of Internet-based continuing education (CE)
courses to the financial services industry, today announced the immediate
availability of 60 courses accredited by the CFP Board ® through a new portal
called CFPCE.com. The portal offers both general study courses as well as CFP
Ethics and Financial Practice Standards courses. Collectively, the site offers
over 350 hours of CFP CE. The courses are also approved for state insurance
continuing education nationwide, enabling CFP’s holding an insurance license to
complete both requirements with single courses.
"Over the years, our customers have encouraged us to expand into the
CFP arena. Our announcement today underscores our commitment to delivering
value and convenience to professionals in the financial services
industry," said Gary Henkel, CEO of WebCE. "CFPCE.com leverages
WebCE’s existing content and technology, giving CFP’s access to quality courses
at unbeatable prices.”
CFPCE.com uses WebCE’s
unique course delivery application, which allows CFP professionals to complete
their CE requirements in an easy-to-use online format. The student can log in
and out of the course material as often as he or she needs to conveniently
complete the courses. Online exams are instantly graded.
All 60 CFP CE courses are available for just $15.00 each. The price includes
online access to the course, an online exam, a certificate of completion, and
automated reporting to the CFP Board. An additional $3.00 fee applies if state
CE accreditation is also requested. Any state-imposed insurance CE roster fees
are extra.
