Continuing Education (CE)
Continuing Education (CE)
Because our profession is constantly changing, The American College of Financial Services wants to ensure that the credentials you worked so hard to earn remain current, relevant and serve as an emblem of excellence and expertise with both your peers and your clients. That is why continuing education (CE) is vital to our mission, and your success.
Many of the programs at The College qualify for state insurance continuing education (CE) credit. Search below to view CE credit information by course. This information changes frequently, and while we will do our best to provide current data, it is your responsibility to verify CE credits with your state.

95 State-approved CE Courses are available
Management courses (HS 378-380 series and GS 900 series) do not qualify for CFP credit. Course credits are subject to change without notice.
If you would like a duplicate certificate because you have misplaced the original, or you require your continuing education (CE) credits to be reported immediately outside of our normal processing time of five to seven business days, or if continuing education credit was never requested at the time of registration and you now require immediate processing and reporting, please complete the form here.
A fee of $35.00 will be charged.
The American College of Financial Services requires every examination be proctored by a disinterested third party who is not the moderator, not a relative, an immediate supervisor nor employee of the producer and one that has no financial or personal interest in the outcome of the examination. States having additional or alternate requirements are noted below. Students must follow all posted guidelines regardless of the reason for taking a course.
Final Exams for FSCP® courses must be taken through The College's proctored online examination process.
For courses in our Huebner School and Graduate Programs, unless the professor has specifically indicated otherwise, The American College of Financial Services partners with Pearson VUE to deliver our course examinations.
Please note, Pearson VUE will act in lieu of the state required affidavit for the following states:
AL, CO, GA, PA, AZ, CT, MA, VT, KS, MS, NE, WV, NC, OH, IA, MT, MI, MN, HI and NY.
This means that students who take their exam, for any of the above states, will not have to submit a signed proctor affidavit form in order to receive CE credit.
The remaining states require a proctor affidavit form signed at Pearson VUE testing center and faxed to 610-526-1402 within 24-hours. Due to each state’s mandated guidelines, we are not able to fulfill your CE request if you are taking your exam via Pearson VUE’s OnVUE online proctoring system. Students whose resident state requires a signed proctor affidavit form MUST take their exam at a Pearson VUE testing center in order to receive CE credit. These states are as follows:
SC, AR, FL, NV, IN, WI, DC
If you do not wish to receive CE credit upon completion of your course, you are able to take your exam via OnVUE.
Any student taking their exam outside of a Pearson VUE testing center MUST have the proctor affidavit signed and returned regardless of the location for ALL affidavit states listed below.
Click on your resident state below to access your proctor affidavit form. An affidavit form must be brought to the testing center on the day of the exam. The exam center will not be able to provide them for you.
All affidavits must be faxed or emailed to The American College of Financial Services’ CE Department (fax: 610-526-1402), email: CE@theamericancollege.edu) no later than the day following the exam. State insurance continuing education will not be granted if your monitor/proctor affidavit is not received in a timely manner. Students who fail to return the appropriate affidavit will have to take the exam again if CE is desired.
