Regulatory Update:
Where The Fiduciary Issue Stands
Two different government agencies -- the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Government Accountability Office -- are both conducting studies mandated by the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill reviewing standards of care for financial advisors. The SEC held a period of public comment on the issue that ended in August and generated thousands of responses from advocacy groups, educators, practicing advisors, and others.

Intensive Reviews:
The Popular New Learning Model
Every student learns differently, and The College is committed to creating new educational models that can help professional students in their ongoing development.
"We've found that students pursuing self-study courses may benefit from an intensive period of classroom review after they've completed their reading and initial studying," said Associate Dean Allen McLellan, CASL®, ChFC®, CLU®, LUTCF, CFP®. "While it's especially true of the most challenging material, some students use this model for many of the courses they take with us."
The programs are offered both in the Philadelphia area and on the West Coast, and they include a convenient, onsite exam after the final review. Click below to find out which courses are available:
