Note: If you would like your professional association to be listed, please contact registrar@knowledgebureau.com.

Important note: Knowledge Bureau does not seek pre-approval of CE Credits for its programs from all organizations. Many organizations permit advisors to self-assess and self-report appropriate program CE Credits. Advisors are responsible for ensuring that CE credits are applicable to the individual regulatory, licensing, designation, and professional membership bodies under which they are governed. Should the CE applicability of a Knowledge Bureau-accredited program be questioned in an audit situation, please contact us at registrar@knowledgebureau.com for assistance.
