Training Purpose:
1. To provide an overview of the mission of professional financial counseling.
2. To provide insight into building an integrated and inclusive financial continuum of care.

By the end of the training, you will be able to:

2. Identify the certification options available through AFCPE.
3. Explain the certification pathways and cost.
4. Ability to navigate the Accredited Financial Counselor career path.

Why you should attend: 
Creating client economic mobility requires financial skills that focus on the multi-faceted needs that many Americans are facing today.  Client interaction requires knowledge of public benefits, resources, and safety nets, as well as an understanding of credit, debt, and health issues.  With household savings at critically low levels, there lacks the resiliency to weather the financial storms that result from living pay check-to-pay check.

Certification provides the baseline or starting point for demonstrating financial proficiency and ensure that practitioners in the field stay current.
