Historically, Retreat has been able to offer participants a minimum of 8 hours of CFP® CE credit.

FPA applies for acceptance from the CFP Board and reports continuing education to the CFP Board on behalf of all conference attendees. CFP Board has final authority on the acceptance of eligible sessions.

During the session, you will be given a code to enter into the FPA Retreat mobile app and will be directed to fill out a short evaluation to indicate your attendance at the qualifying session.

FPA will automatically report credit to CFP Board within three weeks of the conference. Please be certain FPA has your CFP Board ID by logging into your FPA account and checking your profile. If you hold additional designations, you will need to self-report credit to the appropriate association or board.  

If you hold other designations, you will need to self-report credit to the other associations or boards, including the Society of Financial Service Professionals (SFSP), Professional Achievement in Continuing Education (PACE), Investments and Wealth Institute (CIMA) and American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). Each agency, board or organization has the final authority on the acceptance of credit.
