The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) has just announced a new continuing professional education (CPE) requirement for anyone with a certified employee benefit specialist (CEBS) certificate.
Each CEBS graduate is now required to meet 30 hours of continuing education credits every two years. The first reporting period spans the calendar years of 2013–2014 and applies to all graduates of the U.S. and Canadian programs.
“The CPE requirement will affirm the level of professionalism and ensures the CEBS designation remains relevant, competitive and viable in today’s marketplace,” said Michael Wilson, CEO of the IFEBP.
