ADMITTANCE TO THE HIFE REGISTRY

The Certified Financial Educator designation denotes competency in financial services, as well as practical experience in teaching adult learners.  For some applicants, the designation, in and of itself, represents a level of attainment and recognition which fulfills their objective.  For others, the prestige and value that the designation carries will enhance new marketing opportunities or existing relationships which already exist.  For a few, gaining the designation represents an even greater possibility, since the potential of being admitted to the Registry of Certified Financial Educators represents a relationship in which members become sponsored by the HIFE Consortium of Colleges and Universities to teach college approved financial wellness courses to the employees of businesses.  This means that these chosen individuals, admitted to the HIFE Registry will actually be asked and required to meet with human resource professionals to arrange college course opportunities for their adult learners/employees. 

All registry members are required to attend three days of training in Denver, Colorado in order to offer these classes to businesses and their respective employees.  Registry members are selected based upon background, experience and written recommendations.  A minimum number of employees/adult learners are required to be taught each year, in order for a CFEd to maintain Registry status.  This is especially important, since after many years of offering these courses, records indicate that over 80% of adult learner attendees will ask to meet with the CFEd instructor for a personal question and answer period.  A CFEd who is admitted to the Registry is required to pay a licensing fee, as well as an annual renewal fee.  Each member of the Registry is listed as a Registry member on the HIFE web-site and included in the HIFE national marketing cooperative.
