Combined with the added education and training offered through the FSCP™ courses, advisors will be able to serve consumers even more effectively. Increasing the level of professionalism among advisors is our key goal as more companies and organizations adopt these programs.”
The new Financial Services Certified Professional™ (FSCP™) was introduced in 2014 by The American College and is designed to provide the skills and product knowledge needed to be successful in today’s financial services environment. To complete the course curriculum, a student must take 10 educational units from a menu of various courses and modules, complete an ethics course, and take a multi-week live webinar practicum course and designation exam. Today’s announcement allows those attaining the Certified in Long-Term Care (CLTC) designation to transfer 2 educational units toward the FSCP™ program.
The Certified in Long-Term Care, (CLTC) designation was founded by attorney Harley Gordon and a team of professionals in the field of aging who understood the consequences not having a plan would have on every retirement. The program is universally recognized by carriers in the business of providing long-term care solutions, as well as financial services firms who understand how not having a plan will disrupt every attempt to create a sense of financial viability moving into the future.
