CRCP Continuing Education Requirement
CRCP graduates are required to complete 12 hours of continuing education (CE) every three years as of their certificate anniversary award date. You can choose your CRCP CE credits from these FINRA-developed conferences and events, e-learning, podcasts and webinars.
CRCP CE credit(s) should be reported as soon as possible after concluding a program or course. CRCP CE credits are not considered accrued until you have reported them to FINRA.
For questions regarding the FINRA CRCP CE Reporting System, please refer to the frequently asked questions. For additional questions, please contact us directly.
CRCP graduates who do not remain current with the CRCP CE requirement may no longer use the designation of CRCP.
