There is no education prerequisite needed to take FSCP® courses; however, to receive the FSCP® designation, you must complete a total of seven (7) courses, consisting of five (5) elective courses of your choice and two (2) core courses.
The passing requirements for FSCP® courses involve a gated exam; that is, you first must meet the following eligibility requirements to sit for the final exam:
-
Attend at least 6 of the 8 class sessions. Missing more than 20 minutes of class time is counted as an absence.
-
Obtain a 70% or better on the Moderator’s Grade, which consists of the average of your average quiz, project, and class participation grades.
You must then take the course’s final exam and score a 70% or higher to pass the course and receive state continuing education (CE) credits (if they are available and you apply for them). For FA 290, only the final exam requirement applies.
Students will take each final exam online in the physical presence of an eligible proctor. Make sure to follow all of the continuing education requirements for your state. Guidelines for taking the exam and instructions for registering an exam proctor are found online in Brightspace. The registered proctor will receive exam login credentials once the student has met the exam eligibility requirements. Students have four (4) weeks from the last class to take their final exam.
