Have you ever taken a Certification Course? Have you completed six and become a Distinguished Educator? Regardless of your answer, you’re invited to register for a Certification Course in Cohort 61!

Running February 16–March 27, this cohort features a mix of LIVE and self-paced options; so whether you prefer to learn in real-time with fellow educators or go at your own pace, we’ve got you covered.

All courses include nine hours of instruction, a final exam, and a digital certificate upon completion. This is our most in-depth PD experience and a favorite among educators who want to level up their confidence in teaching personal finance, while building community with others.

Check out the courses we are offering this cohort:
