for their experience and expertise in the above mentioned areas

WHAT IS THE REGISTRY OF CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL EDUCATORS?
The Registry is comprised of chosen CFEd
designees who receive additional training and are included in a
relationship through the Heartland Institute of Financial Education
(HIFE) and the HIFE Consortium of Colleges and Universities. This
relationship matches CFEd’s with local businesses and organizations
to provide educational courses for respective employees and
members. The courses are college approved financial wellness
courses, which are provided by HIFE and endorsed through the
Consortium.
WHAT IS HIFE?
The Heartland Institute of Financial Education
is a non-profit organization that was established to promote and
provide financial education in the workplace throughout the United
States. HIFE provides the educational material, as well as
selecting and training instructors. HIFE is also the “watchdog”
that provides supervision of instructors and oversees quality
control for the benefit of member colleges and universities.
WHY SHOULD I BECOME A CFEd™?
The CFEd designation was designed to be the
first professional certification that recognizes the achievement of
knowledge on a conceptual basis, along with an ability to impart
that knowledge to adult learners in a practical setting. As one who
is competent and effective in teaching others, the CFEd is recognized
positively by human resource professionals and college/university
personnel alike. This opens doors for the CFEd to be viewed as
unique and valuable when approaching opportunities to teach and
interact with adult learners. The CFE Certified Financial
Educator® designation provides an
enhancement of position and prestige, since it has been recognized
as an official, registered Mark with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. In addition, those who are accepted into the
Registry will have a greater opportunity to represent the Consortium
of Colleges and Universities and will be sponsored to teach the HIFE
financial wellness courses at business locations.
