Find A Financial Life Planner
Continuing Education (CEUs) for
Registered Life Planners®
The CEU requirements will begin as of January 1, 2008. Each period will last for two years and require that you complete 16 hours of CEU’s during that time. Many of these CEU’s will be filled by courses or trainings that you are already taking or teaching. The Kinder Institute will be offering many alternatives, but there will also be many other ways of fulfilling the requirements with other financial planning or life planning organizations.
Our most important goal is to ensure the highest quality in the delivery of Life Planning services by Registered Life Planners®. At the same time we did not want these requirements to be too burdensome in a profession already awash in CEU requirements. We believe we have struck a beautiful balance here, with some unusual and creative alternatives for RLP® designees.
- 16 hours of life planning continuing education is required every two years to maintain your RLP® designation. The two year time period for completion of continuing education units (CEUs) begins on January 1 of the year following your certification.
- Of the 16 required hours at least 8 hours must be from programs offered by the Kinder Institute; however, up to 4 hours of CEUs from non-Kinder Institute programs that have been reviewed and accredited by the Institute may be used to fulfill this 8 hour requirement.
- Of the 16 hours, at least 4 hours must be devoted to additional training on the EVOKE® method either from the Institute or from another accredited program.
