Common Questions Answered:

  • How long will it take to complete the Master Certification?

    This program includes over 20 hours of video instruction. You are given 1 year to complete the program. Most planners average 2 to 3 months to complete the program, but if you need more than 1 year, we can give you an extension at a fee of $100 for every 30 days needed.

  • Can I make payments?

    Yes, you can make 2 payments of $499. If you choose the payment plan option and complete the program before your last payment has been made, your credentials (certificate; blog & social media announcement; listing, etc) will be sent to you once you are paid in full. We are unable to speed up your monthly payments.

  • Can I go at my own pace?

    Yes, there are no specific times that you must log on to complete the program. You can set your own schedule and login at anytime of day or night. We give you 1 year to complete the program. If you need more time, you will be charged $100 for each 30 day extension. With that being said, it will be rare that anyone will need to ask for an extension.
