You’ve got Qualification Standards questions? The Academy has answers

June 17, 2010
12:00–1:30 p.m. Eastern

Questions about the U.S. Qualification Standards and its continuing education requirements continue to stream in to the Academy’s Committee on Qualifications 2 1/2 years after the standards went into effect. In addition to providing a general review of the standards, this 90-minute webinar (sponsored by the Academy’s Council on Professionalism and co-sponsored by ASPPA, CAS, CCA, and SOA) examined some of the more complicated questions the committee had received since the implementation of the revised standards in January 2008.

The speakers also discussed the SOA’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirement and how it incorporates the continuing education requirements under the U.S. Qualification Standards that apply to the entire U.S. profession. Participants were encouraged to submit questions of general interest throughout the webinar. The speakers responded to as many questions as possible during the time allotted.
