About Financial Certification Programs
IBF's certificates are designed for financial advisors who want the highest standard of education in the shortest amount of time.
A certificate is different from a designation in that it can be completed more quickly and there is no final project. Certificates are earned after all proprietary materials have been completed and by passing a proctored exam.
Social Security and Medicare Certification Program
The Social Security and Medicare certificate course not only covers the basics (i.e., how to enroll, what kind of benefits to expect, coverage gaps, etc.), but also shows you how to make a convincing case for having a client take early benefits.
Divorce
The Divorce certificate course teaches you the financial impact of divorce in the modern world and how it affects your clients' wealth. This course is easy to understand because we describe divorce from two perspectives.
Alternative Investments
The Alternative Investments certificate course teaches you if, when, and how alternative investments fit within a portfolio. Alternative investments are important because they help your clients reduce risk.
