No, Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) cannot carry over excess credit earned in a particular renewal cycle.

Designation marks can be removed for ethical issues or failure to comply with other recertification requirements of the College.

Two levels of requirements are appropriate because client-facing individuals are using the College’s designations as a representation of their expertise when offering financial services to the public. They have a different role than non-client-facing individuals and, therefore, are subject to different requirements for continuing education and oversight.

A client-facing individual is defined as someone who holds a Resident or Non-Resident State Life & Health License, and/or their Investment Company & Variable Products (Series 6), General Securities Representative (Series 7), Municipal Securities Representative (Series 52), Mutual Funds (Series 63), Uniform Investment Adviser Law (Series 65), or Uniform Combined State Law (Series 66) registrations from FINRA, and/or is a JD, CPA or CFA. Additionally, client-facing individuals work with clients and/or manage or supervise individuals who work with clients regarding sales, recommendations, or advice on insurance or investment products.

Non-client-facing individuals include those who do not work directly with clients regarding sales, recommendations, or advice on insurance or investment products. Those who work at a non-profit organization are also considered non-client-facing.

Retired individuals who wish to continue using their designations will be classified as non-client-facing.

If the client-facing status of a designee change mid-cycle, their CE requirements are still based on their status at the beginning of the current two-year cycle and will change at the beginning of the next cycle. The annual recertification fee will change to reflect the current client-facing status at the next annual payment due date.

Designees who earn their first designation during the first year of a recertification period will recertify during the next recertification period. For example, for the recertification period beginning on Jan. 1, 2021, a student awarded a first designation on Aug. 1, 2021, is required to:

  • Pay the first recertification fee for the 2023/2024 recertification period
  • Complete 30 hours of CE for the 2023/2024 recertification period

Designees who earn their first designation during the second year of a recertification period will be exempt from the following two-year period. For example, a student awarded a first designation on Aug 1, 2022, is required to:

  • Pay the first recertification fee for the 2025/2026 recertification period
  • Complete 30 hours of CE for the 2025/2026 recertification period
