You may not have a listing that covers more than one consultant in your company; however, different consultants in your company may each apply for their own listing. You are responsible for ensuring that the information that appears in the Directory meets any requirements and standards under your professional or securities license. Savingforcollege.com assumes you have cleared your listing through all necessary channels before submission of registration.

Professionals listed on the Directory have the option to take an electronic exam administered by Savingforcollege.com, consisting of 25 questions covering Section 529 and related college planning topics. The Savingforcollege.com website, specifically the premium content, is to be used as reference for the exam.

This designation is intended to provide an indication to potential clients that you have general knowledge in the area of qualified state tuition programs and related college planning topics. If you do not pass the exam, you have the opportunity to retake it.
